How To Increase Screen Size For Mac Virtualbox
Thanks, Socratis! That worked, although it leads to a couple more questions.
On my original vm, where I had set VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode, setting VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution had no effect. But then I copied the disk image file to my macbook pro and created a fresh vm, and it worked. So it appears that EfiGopMode takes precedence over EfiGraphicsResolution. Is there a way to delete the EfiGopMode setting in the original VM? On the macbook pro (which is a new 15' retina model) I was able to set 2560x1440 resolution, but the fonts and icons are SUPER TINY on the macbook screen - not really usable (altnough on a 'normal' monitor it's probably good - haven't checked yet). Normally this calls for setting the display in 'scalled' mode in OSX, but Sierra in the mac VM does not provide any font scaling options - the list of scaled resolutions is empty.

Is there a way to get display scaling to work in a mac vm? Thanks again! John Posts: 5 Joined: 19. Jan 2017, 20:15.
On the File location and size screen, you can set the location of the new virtual hard disk and its size - I recommend changing disk size to 40GB or larger. When you click the create button, you will now see your new VM in the VirtualBox main GUI. After part 2 of my Mac OSX VM tutorial, I said I’d post an update for how to increase the screen resolution. It’s pretty simple; there are two files to edit, and if you want a resolution higher than 1280×1024, a virtualbox command to run on the host machine.
So, until recently I had a 1920x1200 monitor at the office, and a 3440x1440 monitor at home. I finally sprung for a 3440x1440 monitor to use at work, so that I can scale my vnc/nomachine sessions up. (I'm doing system software development; I just need a bunch of emacs frames on a nice big persistent desktop that I can reach from home and the office.) As I mentioned a few months ago in this thread, it's a big help to connect to the office VPN from a VM, because only the VM gets fenced out of the home network. 
I can connect at 3440x1440 from my physical mac, but I have failed so far to get a VM working with this resolution.
Per '3.14.1 Video modes in EFI' () I was able to get a mac VM working at 2560x1440 Code: BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage getextradata jmac1 VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution Value: 2560x1440.but 3440x1440 is not on the list. According to 9.8.1. Custom VESA resolutions () it looks like I should be able to set 3440x1440 as a custom resolution - but I haven't had success (vms boot at 640x480, or some other tiny resolution). Code: BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage setextradata jmac2 VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage getextradata jmac2 VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution No value set! (reverse-i-search)`cu': cd Documents/Zoom BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage getextradata jmac2 CustomVideoModel No value set! BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage setextradata jmac2 CustomVideoModel 3440x1440x16 BigDog:~ jmg$ vboxmanage getextradata jmac2 CustomVideoModel Value: 3440x1440x16 But the vm 'jmac2' (which is just a copy of jmac1) boots up in tiny resolution.
So it appears that VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution is recognized by osx, but CustomVideoModel is not. Any illumination would be appreciated. Edit: I'm running vbox 5.2.8 (latest as of now) and the vm is osx El Capitan (10.11.6). I suppose I should try High Sierra in the VM.
