Backtrack 4 resolution in VMWare Fusion (mac)

[verysofttoiletpaper]

Hi,

Downloaded the backtrack 4 vmware image and opened it with VMware fusion (the mac version (3.0.2)).

The problem is the maximum resolution available is inferior to the native display resolution.

Already tried to reinstall the vmware tools but didn't solved.


Thank you in advance

I get, this is one of those games where we are not only supposed to guess your question but guess that answer too right?

Well what did you do to try and change it? Did you use krandr or did you try editing the xorg.conf file ?

Thank you for the tip.

Added the resolution of my display to the xorg.conf, rebooted, and it activated it for me.

Indeed and you probably learned a thing or two along the way. Cheers

The below xorg.conf works for me just dandy in VMWare Fusion with BT4-Final, just replace your xorg.conf with this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "vmware"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
