Hi Eric Is there any reason that you need the VNC console to have variable resolutions when the same can (and probably should be) achieved through Remote Desktop/x2go for the respective machines (since those methods can support auth).
The VNC console is largely an administrative facility. - Dave On 28 Jun 2015, at 7:10 PM, Eric <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: @Jorge Could you let me know how, or what, you did to get 1280x1024x16? I clearly seem to be doing something wrong here. I have SmartOS running inside vmplayer. My available resolutions for Linux and Windows are, 800x600 and 1024x768, respectively. And are locked in, meaning it's either the only available resolution or the option to change the resolution is greyed out. As for the default's that I'm using, this is the Linux and Windows VM spec that I'm using: { "alias": "win10", "brand": "kvm", "vcpus": 1, "autoboot": false, "ram": 2048, "resolvers": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"], "disks": [ { "boot": true, "model": "virtio", "size": 40960 } ], "nics": [ { "nic_tag": "admin", "model": "virtio", "ip": "dhcp", "primary": 1 } ] } On Sun, Jun 28, 2015 at 4:11 AM, Jorge Schrauwen <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: By default '-vga std' is used by qemu, if I am not mistaken the max resolution is 1280x1024x16. (could be wrong) You can use qemu_opts (make sure to also include the current default values, check man vmadm) and set it to '-vga vmware' this needs the vmware drive in windows and the vmware xorg driver on linux. Personally I never really bother with changing it and I have set vnc_port=-1 on my windows vm after it was installed. I access mine using remote desktop and it works great, like wise I had good results using x2go on linux vm's, did not have success with the later on lx-branded zones though.

I've been able to run Linux and Windows, but I haven't been able to change the resolution for the VMs. Has anyone else found a way to run VMs at variable resolution settings?
