For instructions for setting up VMWare resolution, go here: https://sammart.in/2012/05/29/enabling-resolutions-in-ubuntu-12-04-lubuntu-12-04/
In case the link goes kapoot, steps are reproduced below:
- $ gtf 1920 1080 60 | grep Modeline
- $ xrandr | grep -w connected | awk '{print $1}'
- $ sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
<INSERT MODELINE HERE>
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "<INSERT DEVICE HERE>"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "<INSERT MODENAME HERE>"
EndSubSection
EndSection
where
MODELINE is the whole line from step 1.
DEVICE is the output of step 2.
MODENAME is the 2nd word from step 1.
And finally, reboot!
If it fails, reboot to console or Ctrl+Alt+F1 and check the file in step 3. Or just delete the file and stick with "meh" login resolution.
