openSUSE 12.03 only gives 800x600 display resolution capability in Microsoft Hyper-V virtual box


i have installed opensuse 12.03 in virtual machine box under microsoft hyper-v on windows 8 pro.

i attempted change resolution 800x600 more acceptable, under display , monitor configuration, there no other options 800x600.

microsoft's website says opensuse 12.1 supported operating system integration services built in. should, think allow me utilize full range of resolutions display adapter in machine. because other guest operating system installations work fine complete range of resolutions available display.

i have installed ubuntu 12.04 , centos 6.4 windows xp, vista , 7 , none of these other installs gives me similar problems.

is there known problem opensuse in hyper-v v-box respect resolution?  i have noticed several similar posts in web searches, no answers shed light on problem apparently not mine alone.

i running intel core i3-3220 intel b75 chipset motherboard uses intel default graphics available through board/cpu on physical system.
thank in advance can offer


i figured out fix of opensuse forum people!  \o/

make sure add following sections in in indicated guest os configuration files:

in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf add:

section "device"
  identifier "default.device"
  driver "vesa"
endsection

, in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf add:

section "screen"
  identifier "default screen" 
  subsection "display" 
    depth 24 
    modes "1152x864" 
  endsubsection 
endsection

be careful when because 1 minor mistake lock gui boot , have ctrl-alt-f1 on boot , edit command line.

thanks , happy ending!


turns out, not need second fix above (to 50-screen.conf file) - altering "easy" fix 50-device.conf works fine.
