Resolution messing up after starting with Virt-Manager? #398

Closed Matthew-Tate-Scarbrough closed 3 years ago

Starting with basic.sh works perfectly, but when I boot using Virt-Manager Clover is fine but actually trying to boot the OS causes three duplicate, 'de-interlaced' images of low quality that overlap, stretched across the screen.

It is worth noting that when using the base resolution, all is well in Virt-Manager. But my main monitor is 1080p, so...

EDIT:

It turns out that the solution was to start up the VM with ./basic.sh, press escape and enter exit in the UEFI shell. I am using Catalina, so I had to tab to > Device Manager, then tab down to > OVMF Platform Configuration and manually set the resolution, then save with F10, and poweroff, then start with Virt-Manager.

That comment link is broken, but I went to Issue #51 and found what I needed, thank you.
