Custom Resolution Issue

Post by TBOY1337 »

Hi there, how do I set a custom resolution for a non fullscreen windows guest os regardless of what resolutions the monitor supports, i want to use a resolution of 6400x1200x32. Ive installed guest additions and used the commands:

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any
then
vboxmanage setextradata "Master Server" CustomVideoMode1 6400x1200x32
then
vboxmanage controlvm "Master Server" setvideomodehint 6400 1200 32

It does change the resolution but totally breaks the desktop and will not restart, is there any way to do this?
