Auto-Resize Problems

Hi

I have a Fedora 12 x86-64 guest running on a Mac OS X 10.6.4 host.

The Guest Additions installed ok, but I still can't get the screen to auto-resize. The "Seamless" and "Auto-resize" menu items are also greyed out.


What am I missing?

TIA,
-T

If the seamless and auto-resize buttons are grayed out then the guest additions did not install properly.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log for errors.
This should help Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions + Xorg config

Yup. The log says:

echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \

...but when I recompile in usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.21-166.fc12.x86_64, I get:

> sudo make prepare
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

... which I'm now trying to fix...
