lightdm resolution

Running as virtualbox guest. 

Set VBoxClient to autostart which fixed my resolution but now the problem seems to be that it loads only after I login.  How do I get the lightdm-gtk-greeter to match my resolution or get VBoxClient to load before lightdm?

Re: lightdm resolution

Use this option in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" to change resolution:

[SeatDefaults]
...
display-setup-script=xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768

Use your specific values instead of "default" and "1024x768" (run `xrandr -q`).

Re: lightdm resolution

Sadly that didn't fix it.

The resolution doesn't fix until I run "VBoxClient-all" which only gets loaded after lightdm in my autostart.  How do I load it before lightdm?

More specifically, how do I get VirtualBox guest services to load before anything else?

Re: lightdm resolution

Any other way to start stuff before lightdm loads?   I'm sure I can start "VboxClient-all" system wide before my window manager ...

Looked into Changing the grub resolution instead?
