High resolution (1920x1440) won't adapt to VM

Reported by: jehuey Owned by:

Description

I have the guest addition install and the "auto-resize guest display" enable but my virtual machine keeps defaulting to a 960x457 resolution on my laptop. I have tried older versions such as 5.1.28 and 5.1.10 but it wouldn't work either.

Whenever I would select a high resolution such as 1600x1200 or 1920x1440, my virtual machine would have scroll bars on the side and wouldn't adapt to the resolution. If I go on full screen, it defaults back to a 960x457 resolution. I have tried so many "fixes" already and I just feel lost after having to research and troubleshoot this for the past 4 days.

Did you increase the amount of video memory assigned to the VM? If yes you need t oat least attach a VBox.log here, otherwise we won't be able to help you. Closing the ticket for now, please reopen if you increasing the video memory doesn't work and you attached the VBox.log
