virtualbox.org

I am running opensuse 11.1 and i have vbox 2.0.6_ose installed.

I installed windows xp in a quest window. I jump out to adjust the vbox screen to be larger and fit a larger section of my 19" monitor. My problem is I cannot get the windows xp guest window to expand the adjusted to the size of the vbox window.

I am not sure how to get the guest window to increase in size. If anyone has any in site please let me know.

Thanks,

So, i am assuming you are saying what i see is what i get, and i will not be able to expand the guest window to be any large than the default it shows up with.

Is this limitation due to the OSE version of vbox?

If you want higher resolutions, you need to install the Guest Additions. These are shipped with the PUEL version of VB. The OSE version does not come with them by default. Perhaps the Virtualbox-OSE-modules package has them. It's usually better to run the PUEL version, because you will have the latest version available and more options (like USB).
