totya, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 969154] Re: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest
I've been looking into this for a couple of evenings now, patching xserver-xorg-video-vmware to find out where and why 1920x1080 mode is disappearning. Turns out I've been looking in the wrong place, since 1920x1080 is simply never there. Digging where these modes are really coming from I found a builtin mode list is in the kernel, see: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_kms.c It's interesting that even latest Linux 3.10 doesn't have 1920x1080 in there!

Never change a running system. Well, I dared to upgrade Kubuntu from 12.04 to 12.1 and here's what happened: a) The resolution 1920x1080 is still there thanks to the xorg.conf by intel (dts-dreamer) and can still be selected and set in the display settings. b) However, whenever I restart, the resolution is put back to 800x600 and I have to manually set it each time.

I was having the same problem with resolution being limited to 1600x1200. Turns out that in the VM settings I had Specify monitor settings with one monitor specified and Maximum Resolution of any one monitor set to 1600x1200, which is the largest resolution listed. Once I set it to Use host setting for monitors (can only be changed with VM powered off) and restarted with the VM maximized it set itself to 1920x1080.

I also was able to also achieve to add 1920x1080 permanently in Mint by editing the x.org configuration.

I can confirm this bug. I have it on Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint Maya. I can also confirm the workaround from above. For me it was enough to simply switch in my VMware display settings to autofit guest. As soon as I maximize I am in a real 1920x1080 resolution (in the display settings in Linux it also says 1920x1080 but it is not possible to safe this as default - or at least it doesn't work - or apply it). As I really don't like the autofit guest feature I hope this will be patched. Any information on a better workaround would also be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

A workaround: don't focus on getting the 1920x1080 entry show up in the menu. Unmaximize the vmware window, with display properties opened. Then on resizing your window, first note that the resolution is auto-adjusted to a smaller resolution. Next, maximize the window and it should autoset it to 1920x1080. This worked for me, so try it out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Eric, press the this bug affects me button at the top. I think it's a similar cause, so that would make someone look into the code. (Seriously, this is a really easy bug to fix, but you need to know the code base. Which I don't know, and I have no idea where to start. So.. please, dear Ubuntu developers. Fix this.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 969154] Re: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest
I am using the final release of Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit version. I used Display to connect my second monitor. It correctly identified my second display as a Visio 22 M220VA. It displays true 1080p (1920x1080) resolution. But when I try to select this resolution for my montior, it is not an available option, although I can scroll up into a blank area when I suppose other resolutions should be listed. I try to select one of the available lower resolutions and I instead get some out of range error, or something like that. I know nothing about VMWare or Xorg. This is just a standard installation of 12.04 LTS. I was able to use this second monitor under 11.10. I have connected to this second monitor through a VGA analog cable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

You can, set the resolution. Using cvt, and then defining a new mode, and then setting it. But. If you set the resolution (i.e.: force) with xrandr, the text gets unusable, huge.
