I have installed emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions before installing Mate Desktop

So how do I get the Login screen in 1920x1080 I'm running with FreeBSD 13.1
 
Can anyone help me with this problem. I've searched here on the forum and on Google but haven't found any solutions.
 
Post your Xorg.0.log, easy way to do that: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999

Change into a virtual terminal (i.e. Alt + Ctrl + F5, use "Soft Keyboard" "Input -> Keyboard"), create a "Screen" section Xorg configuration file:

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/screen.conf
Code: 
Section "Screen"
      Identifier    "screen0"
      Device        "card0"
      Monitor        "monitor0"
         SubSection "Display"
            Depth    24
            Modes    "1920x1080"
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Execute shutdown now to drop into single user mode, enter "RETURN for /bin/sh", then exit. The screen resolution of Slim should be 1920x1080.
 
Virtualbox is correctly identified:

It simply defaults to 800x600. Look at the solution T-Daemon posted, that's typically how I solve it too.
 
Execute shutdown now to drop into single user mode, enter "RETURN for /bin/sh", then exit. The screen resolution of Slim should be 1920x1080.

Unfortunately it didn't help. Slim is still in 800x500 px and not 1920x1080
 
I think Xorg just switches to the same resolution as the console. That often defaults to 800x600 too. Try setting these in /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
efi_max_resolution="1920x1080"
vbe_max_resolution="1920x1080"
Then restart the VM.
 
Code: 
efi_max_resolution="1920x1080"
vbe_max_resolution="1920x1080"
Now is boot scren and txt before login manager 1920x1080, but unfortunately not Slim. It's still 800x600
