I am using VMWare Workstation Player on a Smart Table under Windows and would like to get Android-x86 running there at 3840x2160 resolution.
By default, this is simply not possible. At 1152x864 is the highest resolution that the VM returns me, I could set if I use vga=ask.
I used the following link as a guide: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003
That is I have expanded the .vmx file of the VM and entered the following accordingly:
svga.vramSize = 33177600
svga.maxWidth = 3840
svga.maxHeight = 2160
Permanent change it inside the VM could be done like as example:
If the android system is started press Alt+F1.
type in
mkdir /mnt/sda
mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sda
vi /mnt/sda/grub/menu.lst
press i to edit, replace quiet to nomodeset xforcevesa if you have not done it until now. Because you can make sure, that it will boot. At the end of the line add UVESA_MODE=yourdesiredresolution as example UVESA_MODE=1280x720
press Esc to return read-mode press :w then press Enter press :q then press Enter type reboot then press Enter
Okay, that was just an example. When booting up, you can press e accordingly when booting, then e again and set it individually for this boot process. As mentioned at the beginning with vga=ask you can display what should be supported. Accordingly, I would have to configure something else, since the change of the .vmx has not provided any added value.
Does anyone have experience with this and could help? Thanks in advance!
