Issues with Displays on VMware. Scale missing + cannot permanently add resolution
I have already spent some time to find solutions for my issues looking into ubuntu forums and google, but no viable solution.
I am using on Lenovo Ideacentre (with 4K display) VMware Player to run ubuntu (18.10). At the beginning I could set proper resolution 3160x2160 and use Scale to 200%. After some time it was gone and I have to use xrandr command everytime I restart the machine to bring back the resolution. However now the Scale option is gone in the Displays menu, wich makes working on a PC with 4k really difficult. Here am my two questions:
- How can I use xrandr command to set up my display permanently, i.e. that the screen resolution 3160x2160 stays after rebooting the system.
- How to bring back Scale into Displays?
Cheers,
Marcin
