1200x900 is not a standard VESA resolution so no emulator offers it by default. I don't think it would be impossible to add to VirtualBox or Qemu (it's open-source after all) but I can't remember anyone ever doing that.
What I do know is that with a tweaked xorg.conf and the VMWare display drivers you can get 1200x900 in VMWare: http://croquetweak.blogspot.com/2008/12/emulating-latest-stable-olpc-xo.html Something similar may work in VirtualBox too, but I don't know how. - Bert - On 27.02.2010, at 07:04, Kevin Petursson wrote: > Thanks. > > I installed the guest additions and was then able to set screen size to > 1024x768.
