Widescreen resolution 1440x900
Widescreen resolution 1440x900
How do I configure or add custom resolution 1440x900 in guest PC?
Currently it allows me to go up to 1400x1050. I am using the latest version "VirtualBox-4.2.6-82870-Win".

What happens if you use the host+F toggle to go full screen?
Re: Widescreen resolution 1440x900
It changed to 1920x1200. Still cannot set to 1440x900.

See Chapter 9.7 Advanced display configuration in your VirtualBox users manual.
Re: Widescreen resolution 1440x900
I tried the command:
vboxmanage setextradata "VM Name" "CustomVideoMode1" "1440x900x32"
Powered on the VM, nothing changed. How or where do I see the new custom resolution?

vboxmanage setextradata "VM Name" "CustomVideoMode1" "1440x900x32"
Replace "VM Name" with the actual name

With the guest running type this in the hosts terminal.
VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP 32-bit" setvideomodehint 1440 900 32
VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP 32-bit" setvideomodehint 1440 900 32

Re: Widescreen resolution 1440x900
hi all,
I had the same problems with different setup:
Host OS: Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit
Guest OS: Centos 6.6
Virtualbox: Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.3.10_Ubuntu
Solution which worked for me:
1. Install Virtualbox --> Devices, Insert Guest Additions CD image
2. get custom resolution string:
3. set custom resolution string:
4. use normal system administration config dialog to change resolution to 1600 x 900 which was not available before.
HTH,
Magnus
