Linux to increase the resolution of VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a virtual machine, suitable for Linux systems, but VirtualBox supports a little less resolution. In fact, Linux can use the command line tool to increase the resolution of VirtualBox. Interested friends can come to understand it.

For example, to install win8.1, only several resolutions in the following figure:

virtualbox's GUI does not provide a resolution to add functionality, but it provides a command-line tool To add a resolution of any size. For example, to add a resolution of 2560*1440, you can execute the following command.

VBoxManage setextradata “win8.1” CustomVideoMode1 2560x1440x32

Where VBoxManage is the command line tool, if it is OS X. The tool is in the /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS directory. Linux and windows look for themselves, anyway, in the virtualbox installation directory.

win8.1 is the name of the created virtual machine (double quotes need to be added on both sides) CustomVideoMode1 is the currently set resolution name. If it is duplicated, it will overwrite the resolution set last time. 2560ç 32 in 1440x32 is the color bit (32-bit color) with a lowercase x of 26 letters in the middle.

It can be set regardless of whether the operating system is started or not. If it is running at the time, you need to restart the system.

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 virtual machine software that is not only rich in features, but also excellent in performance.

The above is the introduction of Linux to increase the resolution of VirtualBox. Are you still worried about the low resolution of VirtualBox virtual machine? Just a simple command line tool, you can be your virtual machine. Add a new resolution, give it a try.
