`qemu` will always default to the primary monitor to display the VM's window.
Without the `--screen` option, `quickemu` will look for the size of the smallest monitor, and use a size that fits on said monitor.
The `--screen` option forces `quickemu` to use the size of the given monitor to compute the size of the window.
**It won't use that monitor to display the VM's window if it's not the primary monitor**.
This is useful if the primary monitor if not the smallest one, and if the VM's window doesn't need to be moved around.
The `--screen` option is also useful with the `--fullscreen` option, again because `qemu` will always use the primary monitor.
In order for the fullscreen mode to work properly, the resolution of the VM's window must match the resolution of the screen.
To know which screen to use, type:
The default resolution that `quickemu` will request is 1280 x 800.
This can be overridden by setting `width` and `height` in the VM configuration files or passing `--width` and `--height` as command line arguments, for example:
```shell
xrandr --listmonitors | grep -v Monitors
```
The command will output something like this:
``` shell
0: +*HDMI-0 2560/597x1440/336+1920+0 HDMI-0
1: +DVI-D-0 1920/527x1080/296+0+0 DVI-D-0
```
The first number is what needs to be passed to the `--screen` option.
For example:
```shell
quickemu --vm vm.conf --screen 0
```
The above uses the 2560x1440 screen to compute the window size, which Quickemu sizes to 2048x1152.
Without the `--screen` option, Quickemu would have used the 1920x1080 monitor, resulting in a window
size 1664x936.
The '--screenpct' is an optional integer value between 25 \<= pct \< 100 which will override system default screen sizes.
The VM size will be `pct` of the chosen screen.
**If `--fullscreen` is chosen screen will be fullsize instead of being scaled down by `--screenpct` value.**
quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04-desktop.conf --width 1920 --height 1080
