My window manager maximizes all windows. I am running kvm 0.14. Initially the VM is displayed 1:1 in the top left corner leaving large portion of the window black. Resizing the window or rebooting the VM causes the output to be scaled which is horrendous.
There are three issues here: there is no way to force the window to be the size of the VM output nor is there a way to display the VM output 1:1 regardless of window size nor is there any possibility to make the VM output scale proportionally. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+u definitely does not disable scaling for me although it causes the VM output to disappear momentarily causing the window to flash. I guess setting window size can be achieved with some WM hint (and should be a command line option and possibly a option configurable from the monitor). Obviously, not all outputs can set the hint and not all WMs will respect it. However, setting the hint *and* resizing to the desired size should give the correct size in most cases. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#NORESIZE The other issue is that scaling does not respect aspect ratio leading to horrendous VM output. I don't think there is any use case for non- proportional scaling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504368 Title: sdl window intermittently scales instead of resizing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/504368/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
