Display Resolution Problem VMWare Fusion 6.0.3 [10.6.8 Server Virtual Machine]

[CheMillan]

Hello,

The display resolution for my 10.6 Server virtual machine is ONLY 1024x768 on a 27" iMac 256gb SSD with 10.9.2 Mavericks.  This is unacceptable.  I need instructions on how to fix the virtual machine display resolution so that it is at the iMac's native resolution of 2560x1440.  Please Help.  :smileycry:

Thank you.

I have a similar problem with my MacBook Pro. My resolution keeps reverting to 1280 by 800, when I keep setting it at 1920 by 1200. (retina settings make text and icons way too small). Has to be a bug in Fusion 6.0.3.

There has to be a way to fix this resolution problem.  I still use some legacy photography programs that requires Rosetta so a 1024x768 resolution on a 27" iMac will not do.  I've updated the VMWare Tools with no results.  System Preferences Display Settings and VMWare Settings only shows 1024x768 resolution.

If you drag the corner of the guest window, it doesn't increase in size?

[CheMillan]

Dragging the corner of the guest OS window does absolutely nothing to resize or increase the resolution.

Have you installed VMware Tools in the Guest OS?

[cropas]

Yes. I updated VM tools on the guest.

Another reinstalation of VM tools helped. Now i can work in native resolution.
