Configure the X11-server to use a special DPI setting via the ""-dpi"" parameter. For example, on Gentoo you need to edit /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp '''-dpi 144''' ""$@"" 2. Start X11-server and check the actual DPI: xdpyinfo | grep resolution '''Expected result''': The actual DPI setting is 144x144 dots per inch '''Actual result''': The actual DPI setting is 96x96 dots per inch '''Problem description''': The DPI=96 is hard-coded in the vboxvideo driver (in vboxvideo.c). It's better to keep the DPI value given by the X11-server. The proposed fix to this bug is attached." defect closed guest additions/x11/graphics VirtualBox 4.3.36 fixed dpi Linux Windows
