Hi,
    This is my problem. NetBSD 9.0 running in
VirtualBox 6.1.4 under Devuan Beowulf
don't have more that 1024x768 mode.

Here is the output of the command xrandr:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768       0.00*
   800x600        0.00
   640x480        0.00
   640x400        0.00
   320x200        0.00

Should I use a specific server for the virtualbox? I have just
installed NetBSD 9.0 with X11 but without specifying
anything else.

Best regards,
