Thanks, Chris Finally I made it. It work with Sun VirtualBox 3.0.8 on Debian Lenny and Squeeze host and Debian Squeeze and Sid as guest (don't have any other guest, can't recall but I think that OpenSolaris work out of the box). Just boot guest, Ctrl+D (install guest additions) mount iso and choose VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. Inside guest VBoxGuestAdditions.iso will mount like a CD. Open CD, chouse right script (Linux, Win, x86, x64...), cp to desktop, chmod +x that.script and ./that.script Before that be sure that you have kernel header for your kernel and compiler (build-essential in Debian case). Reboot. If you will have the same problem after that try Ctrl(Houst)+F x2 for resize the screen. -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It is very frustrating. have you tried hostkey + g (hostkey being r-ctrl), I find sometimes VB gets stuck and you have to press ctrl+g a few times My host display is 1920x1200. In Vista, with Squeeze/Sid as guest, the guest desktop is displayed normally, at 800x600, in a Vista window. Manually resizing the window, by dragging with the mouse to something larger, works, except the desktop doesn't expand with the window. The desktop stays at 800x600, centered in the middle of the expanded window. Other Guest Additions features work, to a degree. The mouse does not behave quite right. Before the change, moving the mouse in and out of the window was transparent to the user. Now, the cursor leaves a ghost behind when it exits the window. It auto-captures, but it is not fully functional. Seamless mode is a disaster. When it goes into full screen mode, the desktop stays 800x600, and sits in the center of a black screen. It behaves as if it doesn't understand the true monitor size. It doesn't believe that there is a physical display larger than 800x600. Setting modes in xorg.conf does not help.
