I found a workaround. In a terminal: xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080 xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080
And the display is set to the correct resolution and all works fine. The problem is when I restart the system, I have an error window with: Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: CRTC 63: Trying modes for ......... with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 0) .... CRTC 63: Trying modes for 800x600@60hz with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 1) .... and the monitor starts with 800x600 resolution. So, I did again the commands of above and the resolution go fine to 1920x1080. -- 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/1517046 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 16.04 as a VMWare Fusion guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1517046/+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
