Hyper-V – software rendering & screen resolution
I am a new user of Hyper-V on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit host, and have just installed Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit. I have two queries from my initial use, and am hoping that experienced users can give me some guidance.
(1) When Linux is first launched I am given a warning message saying that Cinnamon is running in software rendering mode, without video hardware acceleration. How should I correct this?
(2) The display screen resolution is fixed at 1152 x 864. The screen is a Viewsonic VA912, capable of 1400 x 1050 though in Windows I normally run it at 1280 x 1024 (as that is the limitation of a second screen that I also use in Windows). How can I improve the resolution options in Hyper-V?
Previously I had experimented with VMware Workstation 12 Player, and neither of these two errors occurred. I have not yet de-installed VMware though I see that I cannot run it whilst Hyper-V is installed.
