1280x1024x24. Hmm, that makes me wonder ...

... ahhhh!

Tried changing res to 1024x768x16 and firing it up - perfect! Even if I then change back to 1280x1024x24 while it's running. And yet if I fire up a second version from 1280x1024x24, it's squashed again. Interesting. Better let the Qemu dude who was helping me know.

Perhaps your hardware is not capable of producing accelerated 2d graphics at resolutions above 1024x768 and is using the windows framebuffer device for resolutions above that.

Hmm, who knows?

It's a work PC so nothing too flash - think the video card is a Matrox G450 dual head from memory - not sure how that stacks up compared to ATI/NVidia ones, but prolly not favourably.

I'm guessing it's to do with colour depth, as qemu also runs DSL fine at 1280x1024x32 ... just not 1280x1024x24.
