Randr support

[pedlo]

I know this isn't a Vbox issue, but please help me because I'm stuck with Randr.
I updated my Linux Mandriva guests with Guest Additions 1.6.0, and now they rely on Randr for screen size.
Before I had custom xorg.conf files with custom resolutions.
How do I add custom resolutions to randr?

have you seen
xrandr --help


I think it goes like this... first you create a mode-line

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

gtf 1024 768 60

then copy everything after "Modeline" after
xrandr --newmode
so that makes for the above example

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00"  64.11  1024 1080 1184 1344  768 769 772 795  -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode $output "1024x768_60.00"

where $output is what is shown at start of line in xrandr |grep connected

and maybe enable it so
xrandr --output $output --mode "1024x768_60.00"


wish you luck
