I can confirm this bug. I have it on Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint Maya. I can also confirm the workaround from above. For me it was enough to simply switch in my VMware display settings to "autofit guest". As soon as I maximize I am in a real 1920x1080 resolution (in the display settings in Linux it also says 1920x1080 but it is not possible to safe this as default - or at least it doesn't work - or apply it).
As I really don't like the "autofit guest" feature I hope this will be patched. Any information on a better workaround would also be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
