Add the iso like you would add a bootable iso. Then the vm can see the files and install the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 2, 2021 Have you tried using xsetroot -s although resolution seems to be the smallest of your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2021 9 hours ago, hirusha.adikari said: what do you mean by that? Well the fact that you can't install it or that scripts aren't running because they don't support the distro. Your resolution being messed up isn't a major concern imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 10, 2021 use xrandr open temrinal commands listed here "xrandr" will give a print out of every detected display and what resolutions are supported "xrandr -s ###x###" targets a screen resolution and tells xorg (the default display server on Kali) to output the display appropriately. By running xrandr -s it will only affect a single display which is targetted as your primary. If you need a gui tool, Arandr also works (I know the yellow sucks, currently hacking on my dwm config right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
