Description:

I've tested both, the one in extra (1.7.0-2), and the one in testing (1.7.1-1), and both fail the same way.

The problem is that the windows 8 guest, using "-vga std" is unable to select any screen resolution, and uses only 1024x768.

I didn't see any bug report on qemu, but rather found someone reported this on debian, and they fixed it on 1.7.0, though the fix still persists on 1.7.1:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685097

I'm not sure if this is really a upstream bug or not, given I didn't notice this bug getting reflected in quemu's bug tracking system. Though I'm inclined to think it is...

But I guess the developers know better.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
1.7.0-2
1.7.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Just run windows 8 as a guest, with "-vga std".
This task depends upon

Seems to be working back on new qemu version 2.0.0-2.

So this can be closed.
