openSUSE 11.3 on Virtual Box 4

Post by ajbrehm »

I have openSUSE running on Virtual Box 4 (Mac OS X host). Additions appear to be installed. The screen resolution does resize when I change the size of the Virtual Box window. But all window elements are huge, much larger than in the preview (in the Control Centre). Is that a problem caused by the graphics drivers of the additions or are the window elements supposed to be larger than they look in the preview?

I thought it should look like the preview. Window elements seem inflated.

Because you entered "Scaled Mode". Exit from it. Host+C.

No. I checked the menu. But when I enter Scaled Mode, the window elements are still inflated. Anyway, if this was due to Scaled Mode than the preview image would have been inflated as well.

No idea. But openSUSE 11.3 works correctly here. (VBox 4.0.6 on Windows)
