Canglan Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi guys, A quick question, is there any way to enable 1440x900 in a vmware installation? By modifying com.apple.Boot.plist does NOT help, it just slightly increases the resolution from 1024x768 but still nowhere near 1440x900. Any thoughts will be appreciated, thanks!

RDPetruska Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well, until either there is an official VMware Tools package for OSX guests (doubtful this will happen, as Apple will not allow anyone to legally run their OS on non-Apple hardware, which includes a virtual machine), or somebody writes an Apple driver for the VMware video card, you will be stuck with standard SVGA resolution.

Press F8 at startup , at the boot options type "?video", this lists supported resolutions. select one resolution you like. now, at boot options type - "Graphics Mode"="----x----x32" (for vesa3.0 '@refreshrate' also). if it works, edit com.apple.Boot.plist file and put it there.

macgirl Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 1400x900 is not a standard VESA 2.0 resolution @navrose VESA 3.0 is not posible on VMware because it requires a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
