takeawaydave Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I have Mojave running on a trial version of the latest VMware Workstation (on Ubuntu) I installed the VMware SVGA II display driver and possible did some other things and managed to get a 2560 x 1440 resolution (and a scaled option). My laptop has a 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution so I want more resolution. Is 4K resolution possible? I also tried running a few further commands: sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled After which I lost the scaled option. How do I get the scaled option back ? Finally I tried this: sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-resolutionSet 3840 2160 Requested resolution: 3840x2160 Effective resolution: 2560x1600 Again now scaled option and nothing higher than 2560x1600 Any advice on where to go from here appreciated. EDIT: Ran the following to get the scaling HiDPI: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES Edited January 4, 2019 by takeawaydave Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/337103-puzzled-about-how-to-get-best-resolution-for-mojave-on-vmware-workstation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjg61 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I am running Mojave on Workstation 15.0.2. I get a full 4K virtual display inside in Mojave. I am not sure why you installed the SVGA driver. I don't think you should. I only installed the VMware Workstation Tools and everything works fine.

takeawaydave Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks for confirming. I think you are right - I may have missed the option on the VMWare Workstation Displays Setting. How would I uninstall the SVGA Driver?

pjg61 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm no expert on this but I found this link which should help: https://wincent.com/wiki/Uninstalling_packages_(.pkg_files)_on_Mac_OS_X In the future, take snapshots until you are pleased with your installation and then you can merge them.

Naki Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Make sure to update to latest Mojave version! Namely 10.14.0 may have some resolution issues, but 10.14.3 and 10.14.4 Beta work much better with this. :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/337103-puzzled-about-how-to-get-best-resolution-for-mojave-on-vmware-workstation/#findComment-2666146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
