Fullscreen scales guest-machine

[Lumio]

Hi,
I have a resolution of 1280x800 and I configured the Screen-Section for X11 like the this:

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
	Identifier		"Default Screen"
	Monitor			"Configured Monitor"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth			16
		Modes			"1280x800"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth			24
		Modes			"1280x800"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Well the problem now is, that if I use that configuration in full screen mode, the machine gets scalate, so that I can't see everything.

I'm using Debian Lenny

Why don't you comment out the modes lines and install the Guest additions so you can use the full advantage of VirtualBox. See example below:

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
   Identifier      "Default Screen"
   Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
#   DefaultDepth   24
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth         16
#      Modes         "1280x800"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth         24
#      Modes         "1280x800"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

That ends up with the same problem
To show you, what I mean, I uploaded the following pictures:

Leave the commented parts in the xorg.conf and the run in a terminal window "/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup" so it can re-compile the video.
If this does not work re-install the guest additions and watch for any errors in that window.
Also you can look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log for errors and problems.

Okay, I installed the additional software, and everything is fine now. thanks
