setting 6400x4800 resolution in guest
I have tried setting a resolution of 6400x4800 in windows 7 guest running under VMware workstation (ver 9) and in another guest under ESXi. The max I could get is 2560x1920.
Both places I have set appropriate svram size and other options in .vmx file. Even with vmwareresolutionset.exe I have not been able to set higher resolution.
Tried proxmox few years back but could not get what I needed.
Any tool or any other vm solution is fine for me. Thanks in advance.

Do you have the most up to version of VMware Tools installed in the guest? Even so, I don't know if the VMware Tools allow such high resolution. Do you have a special video adapter for the host machine?
Why such high resolution, maybe 2560x1920 is the maximum by design!
Even with physical hardware, e.g. a top spec EVGA GTX 980, HDMI 2.0 can do 4k60Hz.

240Hz Max Refresh Rate

So what physical graphics card, have you found that can do 6400x4800 in windows 7 ?
I think it will be beyond what a virtual machine can handle, I've seen no references of a VM beyond a resolution of 2560x1920

Thanks for your answers.
I have the most recent VMware tools available for the VMware workstation 9.
I have tried from vnc remote desktop but it did not fix the issue
why such high resolution? It is because I wanted to take a printscreen of some code with code browser (source insight with large font) and print on A3 paper with good print quality. There are also many more uses with such resolution mainly for print purpose.

Why "vnc remote desktop" and not the Windows Builtin RDP? Or are you using a home version of Windows that doesn't support Remote Desktop?
