Windows 8, Fedora 19 OS Hyper-V Virtual Machine

I installed Fedora 19 in windows 8 hyper-v and its working fine but there is one small problem with the display setting, as fedora 19 display setting not providing 1366x768, but i need to set the display to 1366x768 to view full screen, so any suggestions??

Solution

    • Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)

    • Run

        sudo vi /etc/default/grub

    • Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, and add

        video=hyperv_fb:[the resolution you want]

    If the resolution I want is 1280×720 then my line ends up looking like this:

        GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="… quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1280×720"

    • Write the changes and quit vi by hitting ESC and typing

        :wq

    • Run:

        sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

      or when installed in EFI mode

        sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

    • Reboot the virtual machine
