XOrg configuration files for VIRGL
From LinuxReviews
Jump to navigationJump to searchIf you are using QEMU with GNU/Linux virtual machines and you'd like X in the virtual machine(s) to start in a specific resolution you'll want to make a file named screen-resolution.conf or similar in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
- and you'll have to make that folder if you are using Debian or Ubuntu since it does not exist in default installations on those distributions for some reason.
Put this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/screen-resolution.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 # Choose the mode you like # Modes "1920x1080" Modes "2560x1600" EndSubSection EndSection
Starting qemu-kvm
with -vga virtio -display gtk,gl=on
is of course a requirement to use VIRGL - but not a requirement to use the above configuration file. It can be used as a general-purpose configuration file to set X's resolution on any graphics driver since it isn't driver-specific.
