Don't know why - maybe that was the only one that worked when I installed the first one. I've had no need for larger displays on the virt-manager console since I use the Windows guests through RDP. Anyway, I changed the display to QXL, rebooted, installed the qxldod driver, rebooted and all the usual display resolutions are now available. The only difference is that I used an older version of the virtio DVD - 0.1.171 <(*) Jyrki
