Description Forgotten User wVahB7imRu 2012-12-18 22:14:46 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0

I have VirtualBox 4.2.4 running on a Dell D830 laptop on openSUSE 12.2. After installing 12.3 Milestone 2, all I can manage is a 640x480 screen. There seems to be no way to adjust it even with guest additions installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot Milestone 2 NET install as VM in Virtualbox 4.2.4, select 1024x768 or some other higher resolution for the install.
2.After system install completes, boot up screen is 640x480 with no way to adjust


Expected Results:  
Should have at least the resolution of the installer.

the guest OS's screen isn't correct,not the host OS,right?

Sorry I should have been a little more descriptive.

You are correct. Host machine is a Dell D830 running openSUSE 12.2 with Virtualbox 4.2.4 (from the build service).

Install 12.3 Milestone 2 as a VM. All through the install the virtual screen window is a usable size like 1024x768. After first boot, the virtual screen is 640x480 and there seems to be no way to set the size to anything else. It also appears that the Virtualbox extension packages do get installed during the 12.3 installation process.
