Description
I have a MacBook Pro 13" retina with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixel and a physical screen size of around 286x177 mm.
When activation the "unscaled HiDPI" option, the full resolution of 2560x1600 px is reported to the Linux guest (debian jessie).
However, the physical screen size is reported as 677x423 mm, which gives the guest operation system no chance to correctly estimate the DPI resolution.
More over, the reported screen size is not reduced by MacOSX's Menu bar in seamless mode, so the bottom menus inside the linux guest are misplaced below the effective screen area.
I already use guest additions 5.0.21-r107220, because of the cursor displacement issue fixed in this snapshot version compared to the 5.0.20 release of the Linux Guest Additions.
