This was only (as I wrote) for Leap Previews 1 and 2. Xorg was apparently fixed
in Leap 42.1.

Thank you.

Okay, let me try to be more precise. I���ve attached some screenshots of what is
going on. I the one called `OS X host display resolutions` you can see the host
resolutions. The important one is the native hardware resolution of 2560x1440.
When I use Xorg this resolution is present (see `Xorg display resolutions`). If
I boot the virtual machine, login using Xorg, and then log out, and then back
in, but this time using Wayland, I sometimes can get the 2560x1440 resolution
in the list (see `Wayland display resolutions after logging out of Xorg, and
then into Wayland`). If I boot the virtual machine, and then login directly
using Wayland then I get the list shown in `Wayland display resolutions after
logging straight into Wayland`. Doing it this way does not show the 2560x1440
resolution.

I would like the 2560x1440 resolution to show up in Gnome using Wayland.

NB: From your previous message I understand that some of these `non-existing`
resolutions are `generic` and I should just ignore them. Thanks for that info.
