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,

Start YaST -> System -> Bootloader options and choose something from the drop down box VGA modus. Standard it is empty, don't know why. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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. -- fr.gr.

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. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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. -- fr.gr.

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. playing -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
