The bug appears to concern SliTaz 2.0. I have no issues with
SliTaz 2.0 (refer to my original post where I mentioned that I
didn't have the "low" resolution problem with SliTaz 2.0). The
problem is with the SliTaz 3.0 beta.
I just checked some of the files you mentioned in your bug
report. I noticed a few things:
1) SliTaz 2.0 is using Xvesa. SliTaz 3.0 is using Xorg. (This
is of course mentioned in the release notes somewhere.)
2) When I run SliTaz 2.0 (with Xvesa), the file /etc/X11/screen
contains the line "screen=1280x768x16". Running SliTaz 3.0
(with Xorg), I get an empty /etc/X11/screen
3) Xorg doesn't have the equivalent of "Xvesa -listmodes"
My conclusion is that Xorg is the problem. Xorg doesn't handle
exotic resolutions well, at least under KVM. SliTaz 3.0 should
offer an Xvesa option in case Xorg fails.
