I have tried all alternatives and resources that I found on internet to achieve to change screen resolution in my MacOS X guest. I have the latest VirtualBox version (4.1.22) and I have MacOS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard running in a vm guest.
Some solutions that don't work for me are:
- Tuning virtual machine settings:
Adding and in the .vbox file, or running these two commands:
vboxmanage setextradata "MAC OS X" "CustomVideoMode1" "1360x768x32"
vboxmanage setextradata "MAC OS X" "GUI/CustomVideoMode1" "1360x768x32"
- Editing Guest OS boot configuration:
Modify /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist with these lines:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1360x768x32"</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1360x768x32</string>
Any other suggestion, something that I was missing.
Thanks in advance,
