Display issues with Kali HVM

[Micah Lee]

When I install Kali in an HVM it has this terrible display issue [1].
When I move the mouse to the top-left of the window, I can see the
cursor navigate over the Application menu in the bottom left. Does
anyone know how to fix this?

This screen resolution trick [2] doesn't do it. If I set a custom
xorg.conf with these changes, GNOME fails to load when I try logging in,
and I get spit back out at the login screen.

I know that I can follow instructions here [3] and use katoolin to make
a Debian template full of Kali tools, but I'm hoping to actually run
Kali itself, with GNOME configured exactly as it is.

I just realized this question has already been asked:

Also, I've noticed that this exact problem happens when installing
Subgraph OS in an HVM.
