Hello,
I'm installing an OpenBSD VM on Apple Silicon laptop on top of VMware
Fusion and Parralels but have hard time setting X11 resolution higher
than default 1024x768 resolution. Has anyone had experience with this
and can help me setting resolution higher? Ideally I would want it to be
2560x1440 as I'm normally running OpenBSD VM on separate external
display in full screen.
Prior to switching to Apple Silicon I was running OpenBSD VM on Apple
Intel notebook with VMware Fusion without any issues.
$ dmesg | grep -e fb -e display -e OpenBSD

I've tried forcing X11 to use vmware display driver, but it didn't work,
and it appears that this display driver is not available for arm64:
$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
