(Solved) PureOS and Guest Additions

I installed PureOS 3.0 but I can't get fullscreen/resizable screen to work. it came with OSE 3.2.10 GAs pre-installed and those didn't work. They have their own 4.0.2 GAs, tried those, still no luck. Tried removing those and installing from the GA menu. No Luck. I tried rewriting the Xorg.conf file as shown in the how-tos and that didn't work. Nothing seems to work except of all things compositing.
any thoughts?

from the PureOS site, worked for me...
1 - upgrade from PureOS (testing/squeeze) to actual testing (wheezy)
(please in synaptic choose: Settings > Preferences > Distribution > Prefer versions from: testing)
2 - restart the system => same problem: max resolution=1204x768
3 - remove virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.37-pureos
4 - add virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms (4.0.2-dfsg-1) + dependencies
5 - restart the system => same problem: max resolution=1204x768
6 - as root open a terminal and execute 'depmod'
7 - restart the system => Now it works
