In order to change screen resolutions higher than the defaults offered by the OS, you will need to install the Guest Additions (GAs) in your Porteus VM. I am not sure if they will work on Porteus, but you can try... See Ch. 4 on the documentation.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
