I found the problem. VB now creates a new Linux machine with the virtual graphics controller of VMSVGA. If that is changed to VBoxVGA, then screen resizing will work the old way.
Last month I wrote:
[opensuse-factory] VirtualBox on Leap 15.1 - VBoxClient not being called during boot/login https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-08/msg00169.html
Is this related?
TLDR: I had no problem using VMSVGA, but I needed to run VBoxClient --vmsvga manually on the guest (I believe that should be run at boot time) Wolfgang, sorry for not answering on the other thread... but today I got time to do new tests. My host machine has openSUSE Leap 15.1 and VirtualBox 6.0.12 (latest for Leap 15.1). I created a fresh new VirtualBox VM, named it "openSUSE" and didn't change defaults (for instance, the Graphics Controller is VMSVGA). I downloaded and inserted the following ISO image as a LiveDVD: https://osdn.net/projects/kamarada/storage/15.1/images/iso/Linux_Kamarada-15... (it is based on Leap 15.1 and comes with virtualbox-guest-tools and virtualbox-guest-x11 installed out of the box) I started the VM. The vboxadd-service was already running in the guest: # systemctl status vboxadd-service Warning: vboxadd-service.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units. ● vboxadd-service.service - Start/Stop VirtualBox Guest Linux module Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/vboxadd-service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-09-25 13:26:18 EDT; 9min ago Process: 875 ExecStart=/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxadd-service start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 875 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 8 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/vboxadd-service.service └─954 /usr/sbin/VBoxService --pidfile /var/run/vboxadd-service.sh Sep 25 13:26:18 kamarada-pc systemd[1]: Started Start/Stop VirtualBox Guest Linux module.

(probably it was started during boot time, I didn't start it manually) I enabled the Bidirectional Shared Clipboard. It worked. Then I resized the VM window, but the guest resolution didn't change. I ran: # VBoxClient --vmsvga A second try and the guest resolution changed as I resized the VM window. I remember in the past Guest Additions "just worked" if they came already installed on the live image. IMHO the solution to this problem is to somehow call VBoxClient --vmsvga during boot time.
Problem: Screen resolution of the Leap-client cant be changed.
Also, I was able to change the screen resolution using guest's GNOME Settings. As I said, I believe VMSVGA itself is not the problem.
