A minor complaint: Sugar came up in 800x600, which doesn't look very good. I wonder if we can try for 1280x1024 by default instead. (It might just be the graphics card qemu is emulating, but even if that's the case we should consider fixing it for qemu..)
It's the graphics card qemu emulates (Cirrus). The answer to fixing it is to get something more reasonable emulated within qemu than an ancient Cirrus Logic chip ;-)
I just booted the Ubuntu 8.10 live image on the same (Rawhide) kvm install and it's using 1024x768 by default, which is much more pleasant:
(--) CIRRUS(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024) (**) CIRRUS(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 78.8 MHz, 60.0 kHz, 75.0 Hz (II) CIRRUS(0): Modeline "1024x768"x75.0 78.75 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync (60.0 kHz)
Perhaps there's a patch we can pull?
Thanks,
