My solution is a combination of two answers from the following link:Įdit: Simplified appliance containg one one-linerĮval $(cvt 2220 1250 60 |sed 's/Modeline/xrandr -newmode /g'|sed -n '1!p')Īs a proper result resolution screen size aspect ratio might be afterwards reevaluated/adjusted, therefore find out the created resolution by xrand command - appended in the end of output,ġ) assign the resolution to a specific display -Ģ) output the desired resolution on the display I also hat to configure my UltraHd display as a main display in Windows host. Once configured, to get rid of 1 pixel scrollbars spaces, View->Scaled mode from menu is option.

In order to preserve the configuration between user logging sessions, one has to put of course the following commands into a. this last command activates the created resolution xrandr -s 3840x2160 Its configuration is achieved via a plain text file and extending i3 is possible using its Unix domain socket and JSON based IPC interface from many programming languages. 5 It supports tiling, stacking, and tabbing layouts, which it handles dynamically.

Using part of output (after word Modeline) as a parameter of a new command xrandr -newmode "3840x2160_60.00" 3840x2160_60.00" 712.75 3840 4160 4576 5312 2160 2163 2168 2237 -hsync +vsync i3 is a tiling window manager designed for X11, inspired by wmii and written in C. So I used the following standard sequence of commands for configuring resolution: cvt 3840 2160 60 Frankly on VirtualBox, I solved my I3 issue configuring resolution by a standard ubuntu/linux environment way, because the chosen answer in here didn't work for me when using VirtualBox ('xrandr -dpi 220') - my i3 session windows was just closed.
