Hi, I am not sure if you are open to taking pull requests. But I added widescreen resolutions to the VBoxVideo driver. That way if running OpenStep/NextStep/Rhapsody on a computer with a modern monitor, it will fill the whole screen.

I tested all the resolutions in the list:
"Height:1080 Width:1920 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height:1050 Width:1680 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 900 Width:1440 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 800 Width:1280 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 768 Width:1366 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height:1200 Width:1600 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height:1024 Width:1280 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 864 Width:1152 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 768 Width:1024 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 600 Width: 800 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 480 Width: 640 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:888/32";
"Height: 768 Width:1024 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:555/16";
"Height: 600 Width: 800 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:555/16";
"Height: 480 Width: 640 Refresh: 60Hz ColorSpace: RGB:555/16";

I tried to make it run at 1920x1200 but it booted a blue screen. Same with 2560x1440. So I think 1920x1080 is the highest we will get out of the VirtualBox VGA emulation.

One note is that I am not sure how you created the .IMG files, so in the build folder, I just added a Tar of the .config file. Happy to make the IMG files if you can provide instructions on how they are made.

Thanks,
Jeff

Happy New Year!

Removed high resolution low color modes as well. It seems unlikely that someone would run a high resolution low color mode. Rather these are for troubleshooting or limited hardware.

1920x1200 does not work, so I set 1920x1080 as the highest
