I just got an new laptop, fuijitsu-siemens lifebook s series, I'm running ubuntu (linux) in Virtualbox. But my screenresolution is 1280x800.
everytime I startup ubuntu (or another linux distro) my mouse cursor can not cover the whole desktop. With mij old laptop 1024x800 I had no problem with linux distro's in Virtualbox.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
thanks,
idzme

Did you also install the Guest Additions? That makes it possible to run higher and custom resolutions.

yes, it looks like that when I run the quest additions, the problem occurs. In a small mode (no qhuest additions and no fullscreen, the moiuse works perfectly. But in fullscreen mode, sometimes teh cursor stops halfway my screen..Sasquatch wrote:Did you also install the Guest Additions? That makes it possible to run higher and custom resolutions.
strange, did not happen with my old laptop, so I thought maybe it's the (wide) screen resolution?
