[Qemu-discuss] Qemu Window size

[Peter Fodrek ml]

Dear Qemu experts,

We are using extreme old CAD/CAM DOS based program with 4:3 display radio,
but on new MS Windows machine with 16:9/16:10 display ratio. As a result
squares are displayed as rectangles and circles as ellipses.

I was missed to find out window size/geometry parameter for Qemu manual.

Is anyone able to send me what I missed to find out or possibly agree that
this is not possible, please?

I look forward hearing from you

Yours faithfully

Peter Fodrek

If you are using a full screen video mode with the Qemu guest, perhaps your
system's monitor is configured to stretch lower resolutions without respect
to aspect ratio? Perhaps you can configure your display drivers to stretch
non-native video modes for you instead of letting the monitor do it, and
configure it to respect aspect ratio?

This works partialy.

1. After first switch into full screen it shows circles as circles, but no
lowest rows of status bar displayed.

2. After second and other switch into full screen it shows circles as
ellipses , but there are displayed lowest rows of status bar.

aspect ratio is set to be processed by moinitor. There is option to process
it by GPU, but it seems not to have any impact of display for any settings of
GPU aspect ratio


Is there any other recomendation,please

I look forward hearing from you

Yours faithfully
