qwerak Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I tried to set OS X to run in that resolution via com.apple.boot.plist, but it's only running at 1440x1050. I want to set it to the higher resolution so that, when I set the VM to fullscreen, it fills my entire screen. Is it even possible, or will I require some sort of nonexistant driver? Thanks.

Colonel Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Why don't you just install natively? You'll be able to get OS X to fill your whole screen and you won't have the vmware performance decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerak Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) There are a few reasons. The first is that it'd be more work. A bigger reason is that I've got an Intel 3945abg wireless card. Then there's the reason of convenience -- the same way OS X users run XP in parallels instead of bootcamp. That last reason is probably the largest, since I often want access to Windows software quickly. So, any idea how I might achieve my end? I guess I can live with 1440x1050... I'd definately prefer widescreen though. Edited January 26, 2007 by qwerak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 1680x1050 is not a VESA supporte resolution, at boot you can see what resulutions are supported with ?video cammand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerak Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 So VESA doesn't support it... I thought that might be the case. Is there an alternative I can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric dragon Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 is there a guide to how VMware creates the Workstation virtual machine? like a spec sheet of hardware reported to OSX? i would like to know what type of display it is reporting during the boot phase because I am currently locked into 1024x768 mode....
