<p>Dear Xorg Community,</p>
<p>I have been struggling with an issue with screen resolution for a
few days now. I installed FreeBSD 12.3 on a virtual machine on
VMWare 16.2, which I intend to use for development. I installed
Xorg, XFCE and open-vm-tools and VMWare drivers on it. Since I
don't want to go through the pain of logging in and typing the
root password each time I'd like to try my work, I put these lines
in my <font face="monospace">.xinitrc</font> file:</p>
<pre class="bbCodeCode" dir="ltr" data-xf-init="code-block" data-lang=""><code>exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4</code><code></code></pre>
<code></code>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Then this line in the <font face="monospace">crontab</font>
file:</p>
<p><code>@reboot root /usr/local/bin/startx</code></p>
<p><code></code><code></code></p>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><code></code></font>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><code><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">XFCE opens as
expected, but does not support my monitor's native resolution.
I remember having the same issue with my previous virtual
machine, so I know it should work; but I don't remember how I
solved it. The reason I have had to create a new VM is because
the disk the older one is installed on has begun to fail.</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I am attaching
the configuration and log files for Xorg.</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">More detail
about the issue can be found on this thread from the FreeBSD
forum:</font></code></p>

<p>I am stuck. Your help will be appreciated.</p>
