bug: Cannot properly set MacOS screen resolution

bcyran commented 2 months ago

I confirm this bug has not already been reported

[x] I have searched the issues and this bug has not been reported previously

Describe the bug There is some kind of mismatch between the resolution set inside of the MacOS VM and resolution displayed by the host viewer. Consider the following examples:

--width 1280 --height 720, 1280x720 set in the VM -> Only a rectangle covering the entire screen's width and 1/4 of the screen height is rendered. The rest is just black. In other words only the top 1280 x 180 px are rendered. See attached screenshot at the bottom of the issue.
--width 2560 --height 1440, 1280x720 set in the VM -> Whole VM screen is correctly rendered, but everything is huge on my 2560 x 1440 display. Shouldn't it be blurry, though? It's not. See attached screenshot.
--width 2560 --height 1440, 2560x1440 set in the VM -> Like in the first case, a bar covering top 1/4 of the screen is rendered. Also, my mouse exits the VM window as soon as I get to half of its width. I can't reach the right half of the window with my mouse.
--width 5120 --height 2880, 2560x1440 set in the VM -> The entire screen is correctly rendered but I can only reach the top-left 1/4 of the screen with my mouse. As soon as I cross half of the screen either in width or in height, the mouse exits.

What I desribed happens with --display sdl but I tried gtk and spice without any luck too. The symptoms are a bit different but the VM is unusable in the end. Happends both with MacOS Ventura and Sonoma.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Described above.

Expected behavior I expect the entire VM screen to be visible and reachable using my mouse with the real resolution of my display (2560x1440) set both in the quickemu invocation and inside of the VM.

Quickemu output Run quickemu or quickemu and include the output of the failure below:

Additional context

I'm using Hyprland - I have a feeling this might be relevant. I have to admit I didn't test it on any other (Wayland or otherwise) WM / DE yet. I'm willing to do so if necessary.
I'm successfully running both Linux and Windows VMs on the same setup.
I'm successfully runnning MacOS VM using setup from the OSX-KVM repo.

socksy commented 1 month ago

I had the same issue, and was able to work around it somewhat to get back to a working resolution (but not able to choose my resolution.

start quickemu with --width 1280 --height 800
log in using keyboard commands and open a terminal/iterm with spotlight
resize terminal window with cmd+- until you get at and move it on the screen. Alternatively make it fullscreen and deal with the fact you won't be able to see what you type
download displayplacer. I used homebrew with brew install displayplacer. a. If you don't have brew installed, you could install it by typing the command at the top of https://brew.sh b. Or better yet, use sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on to turn on SSH sharing so you can connect to the guest system from the host and not have to do everything half blind (ssh <user>@localhost -p 22220)
use displayplacer to set the screen to 1280x800, 75hz, scaling=off. I did this:
```
displayplacer "id:FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF res:1280x800 hz:75 color_depth:4 enabled:true scaling:off origin:(0,0) degree:0"
```
You can use displayplacer list to double check the device ID and valid resolutions. For me it was mode 14.

This way, the resolution in macOS, the resolution set by quickemu, and the valid resolutions available to macOS via the OVMF vars all match, and now you should be able to see the entire screen again (fuzzily...)

I figure that if you want to have a different resolution than the ones listed with displayplacer list, you need to modify the OVMF vars, which they talk about in https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM/issues/51 but I haven't managed to get to (didn't try all the suggestions yet though)

YuvanMichaelVivenzi commented 3 weeks ago

I'm having this problem too, Makes it worse that you can't set display resolution on the fly.

Murazaki commented 2 weeks ago

I had the issue and I had just to put scaling off

I called displayplacer list and it gave me the current profile command at the end

Execute the command below to set your screens to the current arrangement. If screen ids are switching, please run `displayplacer --help` for info on using contextual or serial ids instead of persistent ids.

displayplacer "id:FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF res:2560x1440 hz:85 color_depth:4 enabled:true scaling:on origin:(0,0) degree:0"

I just gave it the same profile but with scaling off and it was fixed

displayplacer "id:FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF res:2560x1440 hz:85 color_depth:4 enabled:true scaling:off origin:(0,0) degree:0"
