Show Additional Monitor Resolutions in Mavericks
Authored by: doneitner on Nov 04, '13 04:18:36PM

This is not working for me running Mavericks in a Parallels virtual machine -- the display is stuck on 1024x768 (my native host screen resolution is 1600x900) and I can't find a way to change the guest (Mavericks) screen resolution to anything else. Admittedly this may be a Parallels issue and not a Mavericks issue, but man I wish Apple would stop removing reasonable features such as selecting a different screen resolution. We don't all have 20/20 vision to run our displays at the highest possible resolution.

This sounds more like a Parallels VM Tools problem. OS X is only showing what the hardware suggests to be capable of. If the virtual GPU isn’t 'capable' of a higher resolution you’re stuck. I’d ask in the parallels support forums.

If it works at all like it does when you're running Windows in a Parallels VM, and you're running it windowed, you should be able to resize the VM window and the machine inside will change its resolution to match. Might even stick after that if you switch to fullscreen, but not sure.
