Kubuntu + guest addons not working

Post by zionahead »

I installed Kubuntu 8.10 x86 to the slave drive. I installed (mounted) the guest addon too and it shows up in kubuntu as mounted. I installed it via command line too (see below) and restarted the virtual container. I still cannot get full screen at all nor change resolution from 800x600. Why?

Specs:

Windows 7 Beta 64bit (host)
64bit Virtual Box
Kubuntu 8.10 x86 virtual container

It's likely that Xorg didn't detect the new driver modules. Please paste this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It should be empty.

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
	Driver		"vboxvideo"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "vboxmouse"
        Driver          "vboxmouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"        0 0
        InputDevice     "vboxmouse"
