Having had a very similar problem (I actually wanted a resolution that would still let me see the top nav bar in gnome), I took these notes for myself. I think they are pretty adaptable but it was super complicated to find. So, first, you need to get the modeline with something like: cvt 1600 850 60 then get your display name by running xrandr then in, /etc/gdm/Init/Default xrandr --newmode "<name of mode>" <modeline from above> xrandr --addmode <display name> <name of mode> xrandr --output <display name> --mode <name of mode> an example of the above xrandr --newmode "1600x800_60.00" 104.25 1600 1688 1848 2096 800 803 813 831 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode qxl-0 1600x800_60.00 xrandr --output qxl-0 --mode 1600x80_60.00 Langdon _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
