Is there a way to revert back to pre-88 guest display which matched host screen resolution pixel-to-pixel, without kvm stretching guest to a fixed window size? Because it just makes guest display almost unreadable, without a way to resize window to match guest's size...

Thanks!

Doesn't it start up with a 1:1 zoom ratio?

It does. In other words, if one does not try to resize window it stays 1:1. But once one hits window border - be it by a chance or whatever - it zooms and stays barely readable.

I wonder why this feature were implemented in the first place. Maybe a way to disable it (on command line) or a way to restore 1:1 ratio (monitor or menu item) will solve this issue for everyone... ;)

Thanks!
