Re: Questions about virtualization
Forwarding Matthew Allum's reply: Indeed Xephyr can do any resolution you like (via -screen switch) but of course its just 'simulating' an XServer than a full system like QEmu. In the case of qemu it should only be a case of modifing the kernels framebuffer driver (vesa-ng may make this easy) to actually do 1200x900. There is no limitation in QEmu itself - I have run QEmu ARM with all sorts of whacked out resolutions.

I don't know of a way to emulate a 1200x900 resolution screen in an emulator (because there's no such VESA mode?), which seems like a non-starter for developing applications to me. Does anyone know how we could get around this? Adding Matthew Allum, author of Xephyr, to CC.
