Found the solution

try : replace (in the qemu command to fire up the vm) -vga q= xl by -device qxl-vga,max_outputs=3D1
close your eyes, click your heels 3 times and whis= per "I=C2=A0 want to go home"

Check the video = driver you are passing into the Alpine instance.
For example, I use `qxl= ` often with qemu.

My maximum screen resolution in the = (Alpine Linux) VM is stuck at 1024x768 ?

After having "googled"= and finding myself chasing my own t(r)ail, have come here for advice.

phase = 1 :
- installed Alpine Linux v3.9 on Leno= vo Carbon X1 (rev 5) and=C2=A0 X11, DWM, KVM,...
- installed Alpine Linux v3.9 in a VM and X11, DWM, KVM,...<= /div>
- installed Windows 10

phase 2 :<= /div>
- update/upgrade Alpine Linux v3.9 on host and g= uest
=3D> screen resolution on Alpine = Linux VM limited to 1024x768, Windows 10 fine

experiments, experiments, exp= eriments (several weeks of...)
- also upg= raded everything to Alpine Linux 3.10, also tried edge, nothing helps
- also tried installing another linux distro (= in a VM), same problem

What stomps me is that Windows 10 VM is working fi= ne (except for the one time I installed the "latest and greatest"= spice-guest-tools =3D> also 1024 x 768)

Any help/pointers appreciated=
