Hi guys
I'm running Bunsen on an ESXi system. Problem's the same as here - on startup screen reso is 800x600.
xrandr output:
Screen 0: minimum 1 x 1, current 800 x 600, maximum 8192 x 8192
Virtual1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
800x600 60.00*+ 60.32
1360x768 60.02
1280x800 59.81
1152x864 75.00
1280x768 59.87
1024x768 60.00
640x480 59.94
Virtual2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual6 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual7 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual8 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Following damo's advise I created bl-screen.sh which I added to .config/openbox/autostart:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1158x864 0x0 --rotate normal
As xrandr output shows I'm using Virtual1, I tried also VGA-1 on the script. No help. Next I tried creating a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart as per this thread:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Categories=System
Terminal=false
Icon=
Name=Screensettings
Exec=/bin/bl-screen.sh
Comment=Autostart with 1158x864 resolution
It's not a huge issue, as I'm mostly SSHing into the system and manipulating RADIUS, DHCP, DNS etc. on CLI and changing the reso with ArandR works just fine. However I'd like to get this (too) sorted... so where do I need to look next?

Does this command work:
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1158x864
It's probably best to set the screen resolution via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as this will also affect LightDM
For example:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Monitor "Virtual1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1152x864_75.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection

The command works. Interestingly /etc/X11 doesn't contain xorg.conf.d/ at all???

sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Duh!
Unfortunately that didn't do it either...
The only thing I find in vSphere Client settings would be Video memory. Increasing that didn't do work.
I think I'll reinstall this thingy. Also keyboard started acting funny suddenly, layout changed from us to something weird, holding a key down doesn't repeat keystrokes etc...

Ooops, sorry -- I missed a bit
The file should look like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Virtual1"
Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864_75.00"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Monitor "Virtual1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1152x864_75.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
This works for my QEMU BunsenLabs virtual machine (I have an extra line to add the desired modeline because my VM drivers don't supply that option; your VM does supply that resolution as an option so I don't think you need the extra line).

Damn. Creating xorg.conf.d didn't do it even with new installation.

Does adding the `xrandr` command I posted to ~/.config/openbox/autostart work for the openbox session?
Which type of VM are you using?

Oh, didn't notice the corrected .conf file. Not that it matters, didn't work anyway. I already added the command to autostart, that works just fine. Login screen is still small, but who the heck cares - thanks anyway
My guest is running on ESXi 6.0.0. #! and Bunsen are really handy lab test systems as the resource consumption is minimal and whenever a reboot is needed, it happens in no time flat For example this one is now running FreeRADIUS, DHCP and DNS. Would be interesting to see how Bunsen would perform in a proper production environment
