QEMU Driver in Ubuntu Guest

[jolebole]

Hi all!

I have a Ubuntu Mate VM (Proxmox 5) but the only res while running in the console is 800x600 which is way low. The display settings in Mate have no other resolution to switch too. Monitor type is "unknown" .Is this related to the QEMU video driver limitation? How can I fix this. I need higher res. Does not have to be 1080.

Thanks,

Pick another videocard in the hardware settings for the VM? I think the 2nd or 3rd in the list worked for me. I think it was the vmware one.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!
