Hi,
I am running linux(centos7) guest with runlevel 3 console mode ( multi-user mode, which should be without X-server) under host win10, with Workstation 15 player.
I am not how to set it to run with resolution 1920x1080 mode, although it runs normally for runlevel 5, with X-server and Gnome.
When it boots up, it runs with default 800x600, then it seems not be able to change this resolution with full screen mode, unlike the runlevel 5, with X-server and Gnome, which will maximize the linux window with 1920x1080 under full screen mode.
My hardware is Dell notepad Latitude 5480 with Intel core i5.
For the vm hardware display setting, I tried options with/without 3D acceleration, using host setting for monitors, and specific monitor setting(1920x1080)/
From the grub2 boot and run 'vbeinfo' from grub2, it seems there is no 1920x1080 mode supported by bios. It shows max mode is 1152x864.
Attempted to set the below in grub2, but it failed.
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
I also attempted to change the default resolution to 1920x1080 from the driver vmwgfx, but failed.

From the below dmesg after with vga mode (1152x864), it seems that drm vmwgfx driver initialized from this grub set resolution.
If BIOS cannot support 1920x1080, then can we change the resolution during vmwgfx initialized?
