Hi,
Every time I log in to my desktop (Cinnamon) it gives me the 800x600 resolution. I have to run the following command every time:
systemctl restart vmtoolsd.service
and it brings up the correct display. Is there a way around this so I don’t have to run it every time?
Is the service enabled? If no then you can make it so that it runs everytime on boot:
systemctl enable --now vmtoolsd.service
Yes, it’s enabled. This is a virtual machine on VMware workstation and has a display of 1918x920. Not sure if I need to add that somewhere.
I found the solution:
So. You don’t need to modify service file. The only thing to do is load modules:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES=(vsock vmw_vsock_vmci_transport vmw_balloon vmw_vmci vmwgfx)
Then,
sudo mkinitcpio -P
