Does this use the default graphics drivers in Windows? I have an older installation of Win10 on my Qubes laptop, and I'm limited in the resolution I can set on the Windows desktop. I have 1440p display on the laptop, and the largest resolution is still a window that is much smaller than the screen. This is my biggest problem with the Windows VM, and I was hoping that your project might do something to address this.

I also faced this problem with the low selection of resolutions to choose for the Windows desktop with my ultrawide 3440x1440 screen. No worries, it was easily overcome with a simple modification to SeaBIOS, see here: https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-devel/c/aCCGpYysZTQ/m/4yMY...

I'm in the process of submitting a patch to SeaBIOS so it will no longer be necessary to patch this in yourself.

Thank you very much. This explains precisely what is going on. I will try this as soon as I finish my upgrade to 4.1.
