VIDEOMED Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 How to get Windows 10 VM to work with WQXGA resolution? I am using SEA-BIOS. This bios does not support WQXGA (2560x1080) I found a modified vgabios-qxl.bin file on the internet. The file can be copied to / user / share / qemu / and you can get more resolutions. Unfortunately, restarting UNRAID overwrites the standard file Quote Link to comment

ghost82 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The change is not persistent because unraid loads in ram, all the system files are in the compressed bzroot file and extracted into ram at each boot. Moreover, as far as I know it is not possible to load a custom rom (romfile) in libvirt for the <video></video> block. The only solution I see is to automate the copy/replace of that file when the array starts with a user script. Quote Link to comment
VIDEOMED Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Could you please send us a sample of such a script? I am not very strong at writing scripts Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Something like this should work, set it to run at array start: #!/bin/bash #DEFINE VARIABLES# SourceFile='/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/vgabios-qxl.bin' TargetFolder='/user/share/qemu/' #COPY VBIOS# cp "$SourceFile" "$TargetFolder" Copy your vgabios.qxl.bin somewhere accessibile to unraid Modify the path of SourceFile Check TargetFolder is correct Quote Link to comment
