| 1 | | I have recently upgraded my VBox installation, but it has not fixed the low-resolution problem with my Retina MBP. |
| 2 | | |
| 3 | | Here are the details of what I've tried: |
| 4 | | |
| 5 | | Host: |
| 6 | | Early 2013 MBP Retina; |
| 7 | | OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks); |
| 8 | | VBox 4.3.20.96996 |
| 9 | | |
| 10 | | Guest: |
| 11 | | Windows 7 Ultimate (fully updated); |
| 12 | | VBox Guest Additions 4.3.20.96996; |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | | I have played around with various installation and host configurations, with no success. This includes: |
| 15 | | Simple upgrade of VBox (from 4.2.x to 4.3.19) w/ Guest Additions Installation on host. |
| 16 | | Complete removal of VBox via AppCleaner, then install 4.3.20 & import Win7 guest. |
| 17 | | Install VBox Guest Additions 4.3.20 with & without 3D support. |
| 18 | | Win7 with & without Aero mode active. |
| 19 | | Guest in Windowed/Scaled/FullScreen/Seamless Mode. |
| 20 | | |
| 21 | | I should note that I am trying to avoid installing a resolution switcher, or accessing the guest via RDP. |
| 22 | | |
| 23 | | Other than what is listed here, I haven't specialized my VBox installation in any way. Nothing seems to get me past 1400x900. |
| 24 | | |
| 25 | | Is there some other procedure or configuration that I have missed? |
| 26 | | |
