Howdy all,
I upgraded my Fusion to 6.0 today, and am EXTREMELY happy about the changes to the display model in the newest version! Finally I can run Windows 7 / 2008 in a resolution higher that 1440 without the horrible blurry mess.
Here's what I did to get my display working:
1. I enabled "Use full resolution for Retina display" in the Display settings of my Windows VM.
2. I disabled "Automatically adjust resolution size in Windows" (to stop VMWare tools from adjusting my Windows display scaling)
3. Manually set Windows scaling to 100%
4. Changed my Windows screen resolution to a very workable 1680x1050 or even 1920x1200.
The only problem I've run into is that the VMWare tools automatically resize my display to 2880 x 1800 every time I start the VM, or switch from full screen to windowed mode and back. In VMWare Workstation I remember having an option to disable "auto-fit guest" to prevent VMWare from instructing the guest to change resolutions.
Is there such an option to disable automatic resolution adjustment in VMWare Fusion perhaps?
Thanks!
