change display resolution mac os x vmware

Could not set configuration for CRTC 262.

In both cases I can't switch to that resolution and get: Here is what I do and get: $ gtf 1920 1080 60 -x The 2 new resolutions do not show up in the Monitor Preferences GUI: V: height 1920 start 19 total 1989 clock 60.0Hz H: width 1080 start 11 total 1480 skew 0 clock 119.3KHz V: height 1080 start 10 total 1120 clock 60.0Hz

H: width 1920 start 20 total 2576 skew 0 clock 67.2KHz Xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default How can I adjust the screen resolution (display/monitor size) manually? What I tried so far $ cvt 1920 1080 1920 x 1200 (perfect horizontally, but a bit too tall vertically).

1680 x 1080 (too narrow horizontally and a bit too short vertically).

Many different resolutions work (see screen-shot bellow), among which are: None of the options in the Systems -> Preferences -> Monitors fit my display perfectly. The only thing that needs tuning is the screen geometry. Parallels 5 Linux tools (guest additions) don't work for 10.10 and 11.04 and I don't want them.

Running 11.04 beta in a Parallels 5.0 virtual machine, but this question will apply to any virtualization software.
