RE: How Do I Access My nVidia Card?

Post by jsmidt »

pdxsam, thanks. One question: What are the extras I install and how do I install them from the .iso? Thanks again.

On my Kubuntu system the file is located at /opt/VirtualBox-1.3.8/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso


You'd need to set your virtual machine to mount that iso file on boot and it'll then install the additions when you boot the guest.

You'll then be able to get higher screen resolutions screen autofil when you resize the window and the previously mentioned mouse behavior.

Once the Guest is running, you can just select the Devices menu, then select "Install Guest Additions..."
