Description Wolfgang Baron 2017-01-31 23:05:31 UTC
Video resolution stays at 1024x768 when running KDE Neon on hyper-v (Windows 10 pro in a Generation 2 VM), even when using the *virtual* packages (virtualization kernel and tools). This is so, because the kernel uses the efifb frame buffer instead of the available hyperv_fb driver. KDE neon is using Ubuntu kernel 16.04 LTS, so I assume the patches described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1287398 should long be integrated? If not, this would be the case as it describes the problem.
1024x768 makes the system absolutely useless to me.

I found out, that KDE Neon will run on Generation 1 hardware, at least when freshly installed. I did not manage to make an Ubuntu VM created on VirtualBox run successfully, as it somehow ruined the video mode when it switched to the login screen. Video mode does not adapt to the window and there is no sound. I would probably need an RDP server within the Linux client to achieve that.
Nevertheless, Generation 2 support would be really nice!

Is this still an issue in the latest Neon based on 18.04?
