KVM Linux Guest Resolution Only 1024×768

Dear All,

I’m trying to install a Debian Wheezy KVM guest on a CentOS 6.4 Host. The only resolutions supported are 1024×768 or 800×600.

I increased the video RAM to 500 MB, but the guest still says:

[ 10.321] (II) CIRRUS(0): Not using default mode “1920×1200”
(insufficient memory for mode)

Only 32 MB are recognized:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (prog-if 00 [VGA
controller])
Subsystem: Red Hat, Inc Device 1100
Physical Slot: 2
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL
