How can I increase the display resolution of the guest?

Post by Fiksdal »

Hi

The host is Ubuntu 14.04, the guest is Windows 7.

The maximum screen resolution I'm offered in the control panel of the guest is 1024 x 725.

My actual screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX960M graphics card.

How can I increase the screen resolution in the guest?

By doing your homework. Google search: "increase screen size solved site:virtualbox.org"
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
