Macbook, XP guest 1280x800 limited to 16bit colour depth

Post by zool »

Hi All,

On a white Macbook 3,1, I cannot configure XP to 1280x800x32, olny 16bit, the maximum 32bit resolution is 1024x768. I have guest additions installed, and I also tried to increase VRAM, still no success.
Any idea why?

Many thanks!

After several reboots it allowed, not sure why, but it works now.
