I'm inclined to believe this is accurate - it all looks crisp and what I would expect at that resolution. In my Mac it's set to "looks like 1440 x 900" - but that doesn't mean it's actually 1440x900, surely? It's scaling the display to appear like 1440x900, right?Īs for the resolution specifically - in my VB settings it's sent to "Hint" at 2560 x 1400 (?) - in Windows settings it shows as running 2560 x 1600 with 150% text. : There are programs that allow your Mac to achieve its native resolution, but you're not going to like the result, trust you for your response. Then you should ZIP it before attaching it to your response. PS: For future reference, you should completely shut down the VM before grabbing the VBox.log. But you will never see the resolution that the marketing department touts.įor comparison, my 15" MBPr with theoretical 2880x1800 can only achieve effective resolutions of 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1280x800, and 1024圆40 pixels. If you want to get the highest resolution from your Mac (1680x1050), then change the Display settings to "More Space'.

My suggestion would be to install the GAs and stick with the 1440x900 resolution. That's why you see the best performance in the 1440x900 resolution in Windows, because that's what your Mac is set to. So, my feeling tells me that you have selected the middle option or "Best"/"Default" as it is labeled in the Display settings. You will never see the 2560x1600 that it's capable of because you wouldn't be able to see anything, it would be too small. For example, and depending on your Display settings, the effective resolutions you're going to get are: 1) 1680x1050, 2) 1440x900, and 3) 1024圆40 pixels. Any help? Thanks!

The 2560 version is the one I'm currently at, with the 2560x1600 resolution working but only taking up 75% of the screen. The 1440 version is the one that seems to be stable at 1440x900 but I can't get it to go higher. Used command "VBoxManage setextradata "VM-Name" CustomVideoMode1 2560x1600x32" which forced 2560x1600 available in Windows.

GA NOT installed (otherwise display is really glitchy when I force it to full resolution - however, it shows stable at 1440x900.) That's what I'm trying to resolve at this point. I have played around with a lot of settings and some custom video modes, and eventually got to the point where Windows is showing 2560x1600, performance is good, and things seem stable - however, it's only taking up about 75% of my screen in fullscreen mode.
The native screen resolution is 2560x1600.
