My Mac is set to resolution 1440x900 and my X11 config in the VM is set to this as well. After running freebsd-update fetch and install and upgrading all my packages I cannot seem to run X in VBox at that resolution. If I bring my Mac to 1680x1050, I can run that (but it's not super enjoyable due to some poor redraw latency). And I can run at 1080x1024. I tried 1400x1050, which did not work as well. What happens when I try to run at 1440x900 is that the screen is only roughly the size of the console window. It is running X, I can do all my stuff but the screen is small. xrandr claims it is running at 1440x900. Has anyone seen this? I feel like the resolution might be a red herring but I have no way to determine this. Thanks, /Malcolm
