Ubuntu 9.10 screen display is small + sharing folders

[rpz79]

Hi there ,

Tried to change it from System->Preferences->Display but the only option was 800x600 (4:3) screen size
When I press vBox to fullscreen still the linux's screen size remains the same with large black borders (it doesn't stretch the active display).
Is there a solution to this or these are vBox's capabilities ?

I'm trying to share a small folder it's - C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\accessible\workspace
Well how can I mount it ?
The general syntax is : sudo mount -t vboxsf share mount_point
What for an example can come as share mount_point ?

BTW can I copy & paste the clipboard's content from the host machine to the guest one and viceversa

Install the guest additions (in the guest).
This should help Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions + Xorg config

Did it

The Xorg.conf was missing so I needed to create him using http://www.osguides.net/operation-syste ... u-910.html
And after that I edited him using the manual you gave me

The mouse integration isn't smooth though , after one click on the main menu (top left icon) the mouse doesn't respond to menu list and I have to navigate it using the arrow keys sounds familliar I'm using the notebook version of Ubuntu 9.10 BTW.

Ahhha and another thing, where/how can I see/copy/edit my shared folders ? (shred between the host and guest machine)
I've made C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\accessibleto be a shared folder with full acess permissions and copied my eclipse workspace folder which I want to use under Ubuntu into it.
