display resolution for win98
Hi i am using qemu-system-x86_64 (on ubuntu 22.04) with a win98 vm image converted to qcow2. it starts all ok, but i can't get it beyond 6 color 640x320 resolution. using the svga driver installed from the win98se disk just gives an error that it is not compatible after a reboot. what driver do i need to get the 1024x768x16 resolution. -g does not work here. i did download a vesa driver, but don't know how to add it the vm. here the command i use: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom win98.iso -drive file=windows98.qcow2 -m 512 -vga cirrus -device sb16 -display sdl. thx chuck
Re: display resolution for win98
Hi thx. i tried with vga cirrus, did not have any effect other than not giving the menu bar (alt-ctr-M does not work) had no effect so far. i get the suspicion, that the reason is the vmware tools. did uninstall them yesterday and will try to check again. will try the SVGA later. until now it always gave me an error when starting up, saying that driver is wrong as soon as i go beyond 16 colors. Regarding the freeze: same here. did not get it the restart to work (it did under vmware, which does not run on my machine as it has no bios entry for virtualization).

Re: display resolution for win98
thx yeah, i used this wiki. eventually i got it up and running: as suspected the reason was the vmware crap in the converted to a qemu vm: in the device manager i uninstalled all the vmware drivers, rebooted (sometimes a restart works when using the "start" button restart, but i usually i do a shutdown and restart qemu). after that qemu found the iso (it did not before), after another reboot it did install all qemu drivers. regarding the display: i now use the VESA 64MB (from the the link on the wiki you mentioned). to get it on the vm before the cdrom worked: i used guestmount and copied the driver on it. otherwise i use to create an iso file and add it to the startup. do you know another way to put stuff on the windoze 98 vm? here the command line i use: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom win98.iso -drive file=windows98.qcow2 -device sb16 or the newer form: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom win98.iso -hda windows98.qcow2 -device sb16 the iso is bootable, but qemu seems to have issues with isos. did not find a solution as it seems the solution differs from case to case. any hint from your side?
