That doesn't answer the questions How do I switch winxp (or any other guest) into 600x800, with orientation == 1 (or 3)? Display Properties offer 800x600 only. What is supposed to happen with orientation != 0? orientation isn't used anywhere in qxl. I'm pretty sure spice client doesn't know the windows guest uses a orientation != 0 and thus will not display the screen correctly. cheers, Gerd
