I am curious if it is feasible to have a Tiny Core isntall start in full screen. I have been able to get high resolution out of it, but would like to know if there is a way to automate it with some information from the virtual video driver.

I know I am replying to quite an old post, but I had the same problem and here is the solution:
1. Start the Tinycore guest with VBox guest additions installed.
2. Open a terminal and run this single command: VBoxClient-all
I tried to load this automatically at startup, but it did not work. Only parts of the VBoxClient system got loaded when I put it in .profile after the "startx" command. It did not work even with a sleep 10 in between. My guess is that Tinycores way to start applications (load into RAM and then start from there) is causing the problem.
