Screen Resolution CentOS 8 - VMware

System: CentOS8

I am using VMware ESXi

I can easily change a resolution to 1400x1050, but after reboot/shutdown returns to default resolution (800x600). I set the .vmx file settings:

svga.vramSize = "67108864"
svga.minWidth="1400"
svga.minHeight="1050"
svga.maxWidth="1400"
svga.maxHeight="1050"
svga.autodetect = "FALSE" -- changing to "TRUE" it doesn't help either
Solution

  • Ok... So just for information. Solution (workaround) is:

    When logging in (entering the password), select the cog and change from:

    Standard (Wayland display server) to Classic (X11 display server)

    then the last selected correct resolution will automatically be loaded.

    This option will also be remembered after reboot (Classic)
