Framebuffer 1366x768

Post by dsjbirch »

I would like to run my framebuffer at 1366x768. The client is Arch Linux 64 10ish. When I run

hwinfo --framebuffer

I get all kinds of crazy resolutions, some way too big for my screen, but not 1366x768.

Any ideas, greatly appreciated.

I'm currently running at 1024x768, which isn't too bad, just not how I like it...

Why are you asking it here, instead of the Arch forums? The Guest works, you just want to know what the kernel parameter is for your resolution. That is off-topic here.

Is the setting not related to the bios features, provided by virtualbox?

Ehm, no? The kernel needs to support that resolution in framebuffer mode. For all your questions concerning Arch: https://bbs.archlinux.org/
