Screen resolution always reset to 800x600 after reboot.
Screen resolution always reset to 800x600 after reboot.
I installed Porteus v5 x86-64 rc3 (clone of Slackware) as a guest OS, set screen resolution there to 1024x768, but when it reboots it sets resolution always to 800x600. What should I change in my VM settings to make it keeping the requested 1024x768?

If you have Guest Additions in the VM, per your other topic, then Virtualbox should be fully configured. Check if the Vm's OS has a config file that forces the old resolution.

While the VM is not running, execute the following command:
Note that this setting will only be honored, if the VirtualBox Guest Additions have been correctly installed inside the guest OS.
Code: Select all
VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "GUI/LastGuestSizeHint" "1024,768"

Thanks! Explicit call for VBoxManage resolved the issue.
