VBox: Linux Host/Linux Guest+Additions: no resizing

Hi,

The problem appears to be random: I install Debian as a guest, install Guest Additions, transparent mouse capture's always OK, but no resizing of the guest desktop area, full screen or otherwise. I kill the installation, install the same Debian again, install Guest Additions and resize normally. No difference in the installation procedure that I'm aware of. Any ideas?

Re: VBox: Linux Host/Linux Guest+Additions: no resizing

I have never found the screen resize to work exactly the way it is supposed to in most Linux guests. What I usually end up doing is editing /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and adding the resolution I want in the Modes section toward the end. Reboot or restart X and you should be good to go.
