Hello for an OCR (Optical Character Reading) project of mine I am looking into the ability to have a custom resolution.
I would Love to have something among the 2560x3840 resolution, this would help me in a great deal because I have less scrolling to do
High vertical resolution is what I am aiming for,
1. I already searched and tried a few things such as editing the .vmx configuration file
2. Tried to manual enter some data in the regedit
My hardware (not sure if important)
Videocard Sapphire 2GB D5 X HD7870 OC GHZ Edition AMD
128GB ECC Ram
1x Intel Xeon 2689 I5
2x Dell monitor 27 Inch 2560x1440 Supported Resolution
I edited / Added the following Lines in the VMX files
svga.autodetect = "FALSE"
svga.maxHeight = "4096"
svga.vramSize = "134217728" 5120x4096x4 =83.886.080 but for some reason there was 134.217.728 in the settings but that should be sufficient enough right?
svga.maxWidth = "5120"
Is this possible some way or another?
the highest resolution I see here is:
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalisation\Display\Screen Resolution\Advanced Settings\Adapter\List all Modes\
List of Valid Modes biggest number is 2560x1920
Weird enough that is a resolution my real screen does not support (that is 2560x1440)
Any help is appreciated, Any known limitations I overlook also!
my sources
VMware KB: Adding video resolution modes to Windows guest operating systems
.. says
Note: Resolutions that are not supported by the physical monitor and video hardware are not available to be selected.
It seems with 2560x1920 I already exceed my hardware limitation or is this more towards limitation of the Graphic card or Driver?> someone has info or Ideas about it?
thank you very much for reading
