I am stuck with 640x480 display. Cannot believe we ever were bound to that spec...
x86_64 intel_7
I have the oracle 4.1.22 package installed and successfully installed the guest package from external cd into 12.3 but cannot get larger resolution, 1920x1200 display.
I can install 12.2 w/o a problem and have windoz/centos/chakra/mint2 all running w/o a problem.
Ran previous 12.1/12.2/11.4, no problem.
what to do???
tks,

tks,
Start YaST -> System -> Bootloader options and choose something from the drop down box VGA modus. Standard it is empty, don't know why.

Thanks for that, provides a bigger screen but still does not allow dynamic resizing like I am able to do on *all* my other vb's.
Reinstalling now from daily snapshot iso to make sure that I did not change something along the way that dis-allows "dynamic" resizing.
Someone else *surely* has experienced this ?difficulty?

Being able to resize the window is done using VBoxGuestAdditions. Did you install these. I am not sure they are available in the openSUSE repository, so you may have to install them using the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso image. Add this to your VM as a CD/DVD drive, mount that device and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. You need to install at least the following packages: kernel-sym, gcc and make, which cause other packages to be installed as well. But I may have forgotten one or two.

Yes, it requires kernel-desktop-devel, gcc and make and I installed them all. I use the oracle vb and successfully installed VBoxLinuxAdditions, matching the already installed virtualbox-* version but get a complain about an unknown or unsupport x11 window software (will write it down next time).
text is: Installing ther Window System drivers Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
I have reinstalled openSUSE-DVD-Build0050-x86_64.iso but the dynamic resizing is still absent. VB 4.1.18-2.2 is installed on the vb and that is the VBoxGuestAddition.iso I used for VBoxLinuxAdditions.run.

I have done the same except I use VB 4.2.2. I don't remember if we discussed to change the added repositories during installation in oS 12.3 M0 from 12.2 to 12.3 (Oss, non-Oss, debug and source). Did not have a problem generating the Additions after that.

I use 4.1.22 on the host but the client, 12.3, is using 4.1.18.
Updating, virtualbox going to 4.2.0.
will comment more after update/reboot.

major update, but display is still rigid.
turned off "desktop effects", flickering and windows jumping all over the place. But.. still not good video performance, flickering/jitters
cannot find the switch.
new kernel: 3.6.0-1-desktop
T'weed uses 3.6.3-8-desktop
Have to use full-screen mode (with black sides, 1600x1200 on 1920x1200) as mouse doesn't reach screen edges (randomly) all the time.

installed VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.4_81684_openSUSE114-1.x86_64 from Oracle, updated guest additions and now have "Auto-resize Guest Display".

Still have flickering and jittering when moving windows both with and with-out desktop effects active.

I don't see this any more.

I have the same problem it was working before I did a zypper dup which installed a bunch of things but I haven't been able to yet figure out the main cause of it.
It is either to do with the kernel or virtualbox or xorg stuff
It's been a while I did the install so can't tell exactly which build it was as the main distro but the latest zypper dup brought it to it's knees
