Yes, I am aware of all that. The OP seems to have done or not done
something to mess it up.

Ah, yes true. However, not a 4:3 as the OP stated. If that was the case
it'd be 1280x1024.

1280x1024 is 5:4
- i.e not really a true 4:3 aspect ratio

It's been years since I've seen a monitor running 1280x1024.
Maybe on those old 17 in. LCD(TFT?) displays?

I see examples using the command line and I have
to just shake my head. I would add decoder ring
and swear words.
I usually use:
beesu "xhost +si:localuser:root; virt-manager"
and it is just click and run. It is actually kind
of fun.

Some old CRT monitors could handle 1280x1024, although on the one I had
that was the maximum resolution and it was blurry. I used 1024x768 (4:3)
on that.

The monitor to the left of me, is 1280x1024 and is 5:4.
The monitor is made by NEC. "Multisync LCD1765"
Bought Mar 11, 2003. Still works.

The viewing angle suggests it may not be twisted nematic.
It also has a gloss finish.

VGA only, so used with various adapters over the years.
The video card has no VGA to drive it.

It might be using piezoelectric HV modules to
make the high voltage for the CCFL tubes (which
may last longer). The tubes are getting a bit
on the brownish side so the image is not
"original brightness".

Normally, the high voltage modules fail before
the tubes do. On this one, the CCFL tubes are likely
to be the limiting factor.

Hi, Paul.
Thanks for confirming LCD and 5:4 resolution(thought it applied to an
ancient era of devices and resolution use).
Mark also noted, the 5:4 aspect ratio was applicable to CRT devices.

My monitor, a 19" Acer AL1906 run is running at the recommended
resolution of 1280x1024 @ 60Hz.
Apparently it can run at 1280x1024 @ 75Hz, but I only ever look into
these settings if I have a need to.
I also don't upgrade for the sake of it. If it works, it's fine by me.

[OT:]

N.B. You (your nym) have been forged [1] in the comp.mobile.android
group, starting around May 7. The abuse seems to have stopped, but I
thought to let you know.

There was at least one other victim and probably two.

[1] The forgery was not all that 'good', but most people would probably
not spote the difference(s).

Multisync LCD1970GX sitting to my right. Has DVI-D and VGA. Have a VGA to
HDMI adaptor that works fine. Still use it. I think it was purchased in
2005.

I didn't mean to cause such trouble! :)

1) Yes it was a typo. It should be 1280 x 960 which is 4:3
2) The VirtualBox version I have is 7.0.8 and the extensions match.
3) VirtuaBox frame fits the entire screen (1920 x 1080)
4) The windows image sits in the middle and cannot be stretched.
I managed with a 17.4 inch screen for over 20 years so ....

Thanks all,

Alan

If your session is not allowing you to get what you want, there are
two adjustment options in the Guest window menus to help.

But I cannot describe what they do, in 25 words or less.

In the Windows Guest, right click the desktop and select the "Display" item.
Try to select a lower resolution value, as a temporary measure.

Next, use the "Auto-Resize Guest Display". Now, the window
should be smaller than your monitor. Grab the corner and drag it
to resize. Inside the Guest, the driver will be adding a new
value to the available display resolutions, which match what
you're doing by grabbing the corner of the Guest frame.

And don't panic, if grabbing the corner of the window and moving
it, does not cause Windows Guest display to resize. Use the
"Auto-Resize Guest Display" and try again.

Some combination of those controls, you'll (eventually)
get what you want.

I used a Lubuntu 18.04 and Virtualbox 5.2.42 for this test.

[Picture]

https://i.postimg.cc/kgjTYvQD/virtualbox-5242-full-screen-and-back.gif

That's roughly an attempt at 3840x2160.

In 5.2.42 (no VboxSVGA), there seems to be a 1920x1440 limitation.
A note in a bugtracker, notes that an earlier version of VirtualBox,
the developer modded the max resolution so an Apple Retina display
would work, but I suspect that change was backed out later.

In the picture you can see I got 3840x2160 from it. These are some
of the ingredients. The "official way" to add a resolution, is like this.

VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Windows 10" CustomVideoMode1 "3840x2160x32" <=== 5.2.42 limited 1920x1440

Now, that basically edits one line in the .vbox file. There
are actually several lines in there that matter (but they
still cannot really override the 1920x1440 limit).

</MediaRegistry>
<ExtraData>
<ExtraDataItem name="CustomVideoModel" value="3840x2160x32"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastGuestSizeHint" value="3840,2160"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition" value="91,110,3840,2204"/>
</ExtraData>
<Hardware>

If you go to Windows 10 and use the Display panel and review the
properties of the graphics, initially it might show 3840x2160. But
if you ask Windows 10 to act on the setting, VirtualBox "sanitizes"
the setting attempt and forces the setting back to 1920x1440.

If, however, you lay the groundwork, as in the above text lines, then do

<right-control> F

for Full Screen operation, again, the operation will fail, the screen
will turn black. Now, press the full screen toggle again.

<right-control> F

The resolution now comes back as 3840x2160. It did not get sanitized.

But the thing is, if you so much as touch the frame of the window,
or do just about any desktop operation, it's going to force it back
to 1920. So this attempt, remains a "bar bet" and not a practical thing,
in VBOX 5.2.42 (Win10 Guest on Linux host).

LinuxMint is likely the Host OS.

The hosting software is VirtualBox.

The Guest OS is Windows 10.

The Guest video driver, depends on whether VirtualBox Guest Additions
have been installed in the Guest OS. Without Guest Additions,
the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" driver installs. It has 4:3 resolutions.
If you install Guest Additions, the WDDM Driver for Windows8+
is installed, which has very similar resolutions to "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".

Looks like this.

I have just replaced my 20 year old monitors for new wide screen tyoes.

Windows 10 though still comes up in 4:3 format.

Can it be changed?

Of course! Right click the desktop and select "Display Settings" or

Even I could work that out. :)

So it shows Scale and layout 100% (recommended)
Display resolution 1289 x 960

Display Orientation - Landscape (greyed out)

Multiple displays (Didn't detect) irrelevant anyway

Advanced display settings - no changeable entries

This is a virtual Win-10.

Perhaps the limitation is because the driver is part of virtualbox.

Thank you.
