As I use R3.2, "qvm-features" does not exist, so I ignore this, while it still works. Thanks a lot! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

> > I tried it and it worked! Thankyou! How did you change the resolution? I only see 800*600 option in Ubuntu HVM. I tried https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/linux-hvm-tips/, which only enlarge to 1024-768. And when I run "X -configure :1", it shows errors, I have to hard code a xorg.conf file, which is not the right method, I know. How to change it the larger size?

I don't use Windows but that works for Debian based HVMs. Set the display resolution to that of your screen: Right Click on the title Bar and select FullScreen. If you just want a larger window, then just set the resolution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
