I am trying to get a windows guest on CentOS 7.9 to have more than 800×600
display.

I started the Windows client, I downloaded Virtio 0.1.196.iso, went to the Device Manager, Display, right clicked – updated the driver – installed the qxldod driver, Rebooted.

The Device Manager shows RedHat QXL Controller but I still only get 800×600
ghosted on Display Settings.

Properties – shows “Windows has stopped this device as it reported a problem (Code 43)”.

What do I do with that ? This is the same error I had with I first tried VirtIO 0.1.185.iso

Thanks,

Jerry

  • After reading your message I noticed that my Windows guests were using the Cirrus display. 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
