Resolution may not be the correct term for what I'm thinking of. It may be more of a scaling factor. What I'm observing is that the window created for the VM guest occupies about 1/4 of the screen of the host. Resizing the window just expands the black background. This is applicable to both the X session within the guest, as well as the console display shown before X starts within the guest, so I don't think it has much to do with the X settings within the guest. Another Windows vs. Linux question on VirtualBox: the manual refers to the guest window having a menu where you can control guest settings for that instance, and a status bar that's supposed to show things like the host key, but none of this appears on the Linux version. I was under the impression that VirtualBox was uniform across supported platforms, but it is seeming more like Linux is a lower priority target. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
