Re: display resolution for win98

[Narcis Garcia]

Sorry: Windows 98's default Cirrus driver works.
And "Cirrus Logic 7548 PCI" uses better color depths but runs slower.

+ I've tried to set to Qemu:
 -global VGA.vgamem_mb=64
But it does not seem to have effect.

OFF TOPIC:
-> Do you know how to let Windows 98 reboot in a VM instead of freezing?
