I was installing Debian on VMware and there encountered a problem with the resolution of the OS using it virtual. The resolution of the Display was not matching with the resolution of the screen, which was 1920x1080. I checked the Display application of Debian, not much use, I found. Then to the resolutions in the Virtual Machine Settings, again no much improvement. After going through the xrandr command of Debian, it was found helpful. Copy the following lines of commands and paste it in a file with .sh extension and save it in any Directory, to make it ease put it in the Desktop. xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080 xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080 I have used 1920x1080 because that was my system resoluton. You can replace the value by the value which you would like to have your screen adjusted to. Now, open the Terminal and type in the command to change...
