I am trying to configure a VM with a single monitor to 6400x1200.
Guest VM: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
Host VM: ESXi 6.0.0 3073146
This is the command I used under the guest OS
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\VMwareResolutionSet.exe" 0 1 , 0 0 6400 1200
It worked with Hardware Version 8 but when I try it on a VM with Hardware Version 11 it defaults back to 1024x768.
I have configured the video memory to 128MB
Here are the two workarounds that I have found so far:
Workaround 1
Unregister the VM from vCenter
Download the .vmx
Change virtualHW.version = "11" to virtualHW.version = "8"
Upload the .vmx
Register the VM
Workaround 2
Add 4 monitors in the VM's settings
Configure each monitor with a resolution of 1600x1200
Does anyone know why I can't configure the resolution to 6400x1200 with Hardware Version 11 ?
