Increse Screen Resolution - KDE

Got a VM with the screen resolution set to 800x600 and no higher resolution available in Control Center> Peripherals> Display> Screen Size?

Solution:

1. Navigate to \etc\x11\xorg.conf
2. Make a backup of this file as \etc\x11\xorg.conf.orig
3. Edit the file in KEdit - or any other editor
4. Scroll to Section - "Screen"
5. Edit Subsection "Display" with new resolution

Here I have changed the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "VMware SVGA"
Monitor "vmware"
# Don't specify DefaultColorDepth unless you know what you're
# doing. It will override the driver's preferences which can
# cause the X server not to run if the host doesn't support the
# depth.
Subsection "Display"
# VGA mode: better left untouched
Depth 4
Modes "640x480"

Subsection "Display"

Restart the box and you should have the new resolution
