Screen resolution on VMware
Screen resolution on VMware
Hi. I'm actually playing around with VMware 16, having installed dozends of OS and with GhostBSD 22.06.18 the first working BSD. Everything works well (Update- and Software-Station are nicely done), except one serious problem: The screen resolution is only 1024x786 and (even after installation of open-vm-tools) this is the only choice given in the Monitor config of Control Center. I would be really greatful for help with this (for a Windows 3 machine 1024x768 is amazing, but for a modern OS it's really not enough). Thanks in advance.
Re: Screen resolution on VMware
see if you will be able to rerun the config tool as root . then do the change as you like . or make a xorg.config and put thye resolution you want. of course depend on what will give you.

Re: Screen resolution on VMware
Thanks for answering.
1. vmware-config-tools.pl: I used find / -type f -name vmware-config-tools.pl to find the script; it seems not to be there
2. running xandr without paramater, the only available screen resolution is 1024x768
3. in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is only one device
Identifier "card0"
Driver "scfb"
must I add the open-vm parameters manually? Where do I find them? And then...?
Sorry, to bother you with staff that's finally not really important to me. It's all just trying out (sometimes really learning new things) and I haven't the time to pass hours and hours with one OS without any results. FreeBSD was the worst experience of my life. Perhaps I should just be happy that my GhostBSD is running (even if it's with only 1024x768 resolution) and that I succeeded to install Lazarus/Free Pascal and successfully build GUI projects on BSD. Or, maybe I should forget about all BSD and enjoy Windows, Linux and macOS?
