Full Screen

Yes, another full screen question.

I am using Ver 1.3.8. Host is Linux, guest is WinXP. LCD is 1680x1050.

User manual has custom VESA settings, but what file gets edited??

The general procedure is :

1. Install the additions onto the windows guest.

2. Re-boot windows.

3. Set monitor resolution in windows.

If that fails :

Code: Select all

VBoxManage controlvm "Guest" setvideomodehint "1440" "900" "24"

Where :

* "Guest" is the name of the Guest OS.
* "1440" and "900" are the desired resolution.
* "24" is the desired color depth (8,16,24)

That worked, Thanks.

Windows additions had a hard time with my wide screen monitor.

My Ubuntu resolution is smaller then the Vista host. Will setting the resolution of the guest VM to the host resolution work. If not, how do I change it back to default?

Thanks.
