Having problems changing video EFI mode
Posted: 11. Jun 2010, 17:13
I read in the manual that you should be able to set the video mode on Snow Leopard guest (EFI) with the command
So I tried but get the error
If I do I get the name of the vm to be "SnowLep".
Also if I it finds the vm.
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the statement that it won't change the resolution to 1280x1024?
Thank you.
Code: Select all
VBoxManage setextradata vmname VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode N
