Windows 7 64 bit host, Fedora 13 guest additions problems

[gthaker]

Long many years now I have been a Vbox use on Linux Host, windows Guest. Now, i am moving to a windows 7 host, and fedora 13 guest. Both are 64 bit OSes. I seem to have problem w/ guest additions. I cant' get the Linux windows to adjust to anything other than 1024x768. I think guest additions are not installing properly. I tried to run

sh VBoxLinuxAddiitons-amd64.run

is this the right file? (I am intel i7 quad core cpu).

ANyway, the install says

Building the main Guest Additions module - OK
Building shared folder support module - ok
bulding open gl support module - ok
doing non-kernel setup of guest additions 0k
installing the weindow system drivers
Installing X.Org server 1.8 modules - OK
Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions...... Hang here forever.

After this i can open new terminal windows in linux but focus never seems to work and i can't type anything in any other windows.

1024x768 and w/o full screen linux it is very limited use.

Any suggestion?

Have a lot of patience when the system is compiling the modules. It should go pretty fast, especially on an i7 but we are talking about computers here, anything can happen. I can't really figure out if you made system preparations for building kernel modules. See my Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions + Xorg config for instructions.

well, i am not sure why but I simply repeated my procedure again today (i had repeated it earlier as well). Now I am able to run in full screen mode etc, and guest additions seem to have installed properly.
