Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm running a 12.04.01 on a Macbook Pro with retina display under
Virtualbox. Because of it's extremely high resolution, virtualbox scales
it down and runs it with half the width and height of the panel,
projecting each guest pixel onto four of the hosts's screen. Works well.
Ubuntu's desktop manager login screen works well with this and chooses the
correct resolution.
(
But then xfce chooses a higher resolution, thus moving parts out of the
display.
This can easily be fixed by setting the needed resolution with xrandr or
the XFCE screen settings. But these changes are not persistent. I have
to repeat them after every boot of the guest machine. Even adding the
xrandr command to the startup scripts of the XFCE session has no effect.
There seems to be no way to make resolution settings (no matter whether
with xrandr or XFCE's graphical setting programs) persistent.
