VRDP Screen Resolution Limit

Hi All,

I am trying to capture screenshots of applications at a very high resolution. i.e. around 20000X20000px running inside a windows XP SP3 guest.
The following commands were supposed to do it but it doesn't work and sometimes reduces resolution to 800X600px.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution 20000,20000
VBoxManage controlvm WinXP setvideomodehint 20000 20000 16
I think i tried this before on a fedora host long back and it worked but now it doesn't work on mac (leopard) and ubuntu (9.10) hosts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shauvik

Have you given the guest enough videomemory to support that resolution?

It would need more then 800MB and I'm not sure if that works....
