Virtualization / New higher-res monitor with ArcaOS on VirtualBox
« on: May 02, 2025, 10:18:07 pm »
Got a newer wider screen monitor with 2560x1080 resolution to replace an old standard 1920x1080 res monitor. Booted directly to ArcaOS using Panorama it works fine. Running ArcaOS under VirtualBox inside Windows 11 it seems to only be able to get 1920x1080 resolution (black bars on left and right sides of full screen).
Has anyone gotten higher than 1920x1080 in VirtualBox under Windows?
I followed the Arca Noae instructions to change resolution using the VBoxManage app (I tried 2560x1080x16 and 2560x1080x24 and 2560x1080x32) but when I do that, the only choice I get in the 'Screen' object is 1600x1200x16777216. So I set back to 1920x1080x32. Kinda implies it can't be done. Is there something else I need to do to get the desired resolution? Did increase video memory to 128MB, but it made no difference.
Regards,
