Widescreen - looking for help
Submitted by Jabba Loo on October 8, 2007 - 2:01pm.
I have a locally created WinXP LivePC, and the host is WinXP as well. I have a 1900x1200 monitor and would like to set my LivePC resolution to 1680x1050. I have added custom resolutions in VMWare 5.5 Workstation before by adding them to the registry, but the registry entries don't exist in LivePC.
Anyone know how I can add a custom display resolution on my LivePC?
Thanks!
1280x800 not possible?

Hello!
I configured the VMX directly an set
svga.maxWidth = "1280"
svga.maxHeight "800"
and restarted the LivePC again.
Now the max Screen resolution is 1024x768. What is wrong?

These settings are for the VMware Player window size. Also since you did a manual change, which folder did you make VMX changes in? If this is a Subscribed LivePC (downloaded), enable the keep changes option and make the changes to the version in the LivePC's activation folder.
For video resolution, you will need to install the VMware Guest Tools
Let us know if you need additional help.

There is a vmx option to set
There is a vmx option to set the Guest max resolution.
For moka5 Engine, you can select Configure, Advanced, Edit VMX directly and add the following 2 lines to the vmx. Save the changes and close NotePad.
svga.maxWidth = "1680"
svga.maxHeight = "1050"
Start the LivePC again. You should be able to change the Screen resolution in the Windows XP Guest.
If you are using another method (such as registry) to set the screen resolution for a native VMware Virtual Machine, please post the information here and we can investigate why the LivePC is not accepting the same settings.
