Resolves an issue where the VMware installation UBUNTU15 does not support 1920x1080 resolution

The steps to resolve are as follows:

[email protected]:~$ CVT1920x1080  the# 1920x1080 59.96Hz (CVT2.07m9) HSync:67.16KHz; Pclk173.00Mhzmodeline"1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920x1080 2048 2248 2576   the 1083 1088 1120-hsync +Vsync[email protected]:~$ Xrandr--newmode"1920x1080_60.00" 173.00  1920x1080 2048 2248 2576   the 1083 1088 1120-hsync +Vsync[email protected]:~$ Xrandr--addmode Virtual1"1920x1080_60.00"[email protected]:~$ Xrandr--output Virtual1--mode"1920x1080_60.00"

If the last command doesn ' t work for you,you can go back to the Ubuntu display GUI setting and can chose the display you have Added just now. For me the option was 1904 x 1070 (16:9)

However if you is fine with this experiment and has found the desired screen resolution and to make that Permanent,write The last 3 commands starting from Xrandr--newmode command in your. xprofile file using following command and the n Save,exit and restart your Ubuntu VM and you'll get your desired resolution permanently.

$ gedit ~/.xprofile
