I will not forward it to upstream (esp. since I've no When I find a bug in a Debian package, I file it in Debian. If necessary (when I get a response like this), I file it directly upstream as well, but I find Debian's bug tracker far better than most upstreams, and in any case it helps to know when the fix makes it into the Debian package. > good way to test it or don't understand the reasons why a change > is needed, Because, sadly, 1366x768 has become the most common laptop resolution, so having that resolution in KVM would allow guests to use the full screen resolution when fullscreen. Also, testing it seems pretty trivial: boot a guest OS in KVM, and attempt to find and switch to 1366x768 using whatever tool that OS uses to change resolution. > so this bug will most likely stay in debian forever, > unless one day it will be fixed upstream and someone notices and > closes it in debian.
