Box running Linux - graphics drivers?

Hi,

I run a VirtualBox with Linux on, Fedora 14, with a special distro my university advise on using (developed by one of the lecturers). It has all the rpm's of Fedora 14 and has Gnome etc.

In VB it currently opens up in a small screen, and if I make it bigger it just pixelates. Using Gnome I went into resolution settings and it wouldn't allow any bigger.

I am new to Linux and don't know how to install drivers that will work. I have tried many different nVidia drivers but none are compatible.

Thanks.

My GFX card is nVidia GeForce GTX-560m

You have to learn what a VM is. Its not real hardware!

Look into the manual howto install the guest additions. That gives you better graphics.

When I go to install guest additions, nothing happens...
