How to connect in full screen mode to Linux CentOS 7 virtual machine?

I am connecting to CentOS 7 VM from Hyper-V from Windows 8.1. Full screen mode does not work. I need to fix this. Other virtual machines including CentOS 6 and Windows Server have no problem.

These are some of the observations I made when I connect to this VM from Hyper-V Manager.

  • CentOS 7 displays this warning at boot, after which "TSC quick calibration failed". I read that this is not a problem, but I'm not sure. Everything else runs in a virtual machine, except that it cannot run in full screen mode on my laptop, which has fairly high resolution graphics.

  • Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> Displays only show one default option "Integrated Display" with a shaded resolution of "1152 x 864 (4: 3)". Here I expected to see other solutions to choose from!

  • When I run the following bash command

    lspci -nn | grep VGA
    
          

I get

    00:80.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Microsoft Corporation Hyper-V Virtual VGA [1414:5353]

      

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try this:

$sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="video=hyperv_fb:2560x1440"
$sudo reboot

      



Also keep in mind that the hypervisor is only viewed in terms of resolution. My recommendation, installing xrdp and using remote desktop is better and you get full screen resolution.

Take care.
