Run guest at high resolution

Post by jgm »

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 host and an El Capitan guest. After an install from the ISO I can run full-screen at 1920x1200 using the following command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata osx VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode 5
however I'm unable to find a way of obtaining a higher resolution. My monitor runs at 3840x2160. How can I run full-screen at this resolution?
