Hi all,

I'm new to VirtualBox. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (a command-line system, no Xorg, no framebuffer) as a guest under Vista host. Then I installed Guest Additions - except, obviously, the X modules. When I try to enter full-screen mode, I get only a small window in the center of a black screen. How do I get a real full-screen display for my guest?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, will try that, though I couldn't understand from the linked thread whether or not it requires framebuffer.

Or you can check this out http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... 14#p148469 you can set the size to what ever you need. See screen shot of one I did.

IIRC the vga=<something> kernel parm works without framebuffer, just needs matching VESA mode support from display
