guest resolution

Post by mawgav »

Hallo,
my host is openSUSE 13.1.
At the moment I am running two guests: win 7. using guest additions 4.3.18.
If I switch to full screen in these guests, I get a resolution of 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch crt.
I am trying to install win xp as guest with the same resolution, but the resolution is always higher
and if I set it to 1024 x 768 I always get black border.
I have looked in chapter 9.7, but that does not work for windows.
Can anybody help?

thanks
martin

Did you set the amount of VRAM of that guest to 128MB
