Screen native resolution not present on list

ve flag

Ubuntu 21.04 with Wayland. All this on VirtualBox 6.1.22, VMSVGA graphic controller, full-screen mode, no scaling (100%). Ubuntu is at current update status. Also VirtualBox GuestAdditions. Single display setup, built-in screen of all-in-one build of hardware. Host native resolution is 2560x1440.

PROBLEM This resolution is not present on list: Ubuntu Settings > Displays > Displays tab > Resolution field. END OF PROBLEM

Q.1. Is it this way because list is static, built once yet there is automatism to detect screen resolution?

I tried to add native resolution in GRUB config file to WAYLAND0 output. However, zero success.

Q.2 What is the valid yet working manner to add native resolution to GNOME list of resolutions?

Let me know if I can provide more details for solution finding.

UPDATE Unfortunately command sudo edid-decode --xmodeline never returns regardless if ran as normal user, or administrator.

UPDATE 2

user@node:~$ sudo get-edid | parse-edid
This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun.

Looks like no busses have an EDID. Sorry!

do you have full superuser (root) permissions?
I'm sorry nothing was successful. ...
Partial Read... Try again

UPDATE 3 Each complete boot (kernel boot, user-space boot, display manager) uses very low resolution 800x600 (or something like this) regardless of user switches to high resolution (one on the list) during each session. Every time graphical user session completes Ubuntu returns also to resolution 800x600 in display manager.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
