@Jorge Could you let me know how, or what, you did to get 1280x1024x16?
I clearly seem to be doing something wrong here. I have SmartOS running
inside vmplayer. My available resolutions for Linux and Windows are,
800x600 and 1024x768, respectively. And are locked in, meaning it's either
the only available resolution or the option to change the resolution is
greyed out.
As for the default's that I'm using, this is the Linux and Windows VM spec
that I'm using:
{
"alias": "win10",
"brand": "kvm",
"vcpus": 1,
"autoboot": false,
"ram": 2048,
"resolvers": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"],
"disks": [
{
"boot": true,
"model": "virtio",
"size": 40960
}
],
"nics": [
{
"nic_tag": "admin",
"model": "virtio",
"ip": "dhcp",
"primary": 1
}
]
}
