Increase resolution in qemu without KVM?

Help / Tech Support

My host CPU doesn’t support KVM so is there any way to increase the default resolution of Sculpt within qemu otherwise?

Would be cool to see this system run at 1440p

Thanks

If the vesa framebuffer driver is used you should be able to change the resolution from within the runtime graph via the vesa_fb node (this is the case when you boot in BIOS legacy mode, i.e. there is no UEFI).

If the boot framebuffer driver is used the resolution cannot be changed at run-time (this is the case when you boot with UEFI, e.g. Tianocore). You could try to replace the set gfxpayload=auto option in the grub.cfg (found in the boot/grub directory on the Genode partition) with set gfxpayload=2560x1440x32 (you may have to consult the GRUB documentation as I am typing that from the top of my head).
