Hi, i have a laptop with resolution 1366x768 and SeaBIOS doesn't have such. Please, if it is possible, someone who can, to add this resolution to vgasrc/bochsvga.c.
It is not sufficient to just add that resolution to seabios list. I mean, it is not only bios which should have support for it.
For example, qemu/kvm will not work with it.
The problem here is that 1366 is not dividable by 8. In other words, each line on the screen does not end at a byte boundary in memory. This is a very weird resolution. Most devices which actually implement it use 1368x768 and just crop two vertical one-pixe-wide lines on both sides.
According to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution, resolution 1366x768 is used by 26% from Web users, based on stats from http://gs.statcounter.com/#resolution-ww-monthly-201401-201404-bar
This does not look real. Being a very weird resolution, with very few devices available in stores all around, it can't be real.
But even if it _is_ real, it does not make this resolution any less weird.
Thanks,
/mjt, who added it once to seabios (not a rocket science to add 3 lines to vgasrc.c) just to discover that qemu crashes once (windows) guest tries to switch to it
