I've experienced a problem that is similar in some respects but different in
others. I had problems with the screen=auto option and submitted bug 178,
along with a fix. The short of the problem was that the resolution
detection would fail and I would get kicked out of X and back to the
console. The full details, along with my fix, are at the link below. With
the fix, my graphics adapter's highest supported display resolution would be
detected and used.

Based on the KVM change log, it appears 1280 x 768 support was added in
September 2008.

Subject: Boot options for running 3.0 under KVM
When running SliTaz 3.0 under KVM, the "only" resolution I can get is
800x600. Under SliTaz 2.0, which offers a boot-time menu of various
screen resolutions, I can get SliTaz to run at "exotic" resolutions
such as 1280x768x16, etc.
Neither of the two boot options below work for SliTaz 3.0:
slitaz screen=1280x768x16
slitaz vga=1280x768x16
Interestingly with "slitaz vga=" I get dropped to a console screen
which allows me to choose various VESA resolutions. Picking the
appropriate VESA resolution, allows me to get a large (1280x768, etc)
framebuffer screen. But when the X server takes over, the resolution
drops to the default 800x600.
What is the "magic" boot option for running SliTaz at, say, a
resolution of 1280x768x16? Or is the X server included with 3.0
limited to the said 800x600 when running under KVM using either -vga
std or -vga cirrus option.
