Good day,

I have just installed AntiX as a Virtual Machine on a HP G62 laptop.

I am using Oracle VirtualBox version 4.2.4

I have not been able to install guest additions. - The AUTORUN did not start when mounted so I opened a terminal and went to /media/cdrdom and issued ./autorun.sh and got back the reply Linux Guest additions installer not found -- try to start them manually.

I thought I might be able to just modify the xorg.conf.in file but I am seeing @@MODE@@ in several sections which I have not seen before and I don't want to break anything so I did not try.

My Laptop has an Intel HD Graphics (Core i3) chipset supporting the following res
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 600
1280 x 720
1280 x 768
1360 x 768
1366 x 768 - Current laptop setting

Colour depth is 16 or 32
Refresh rate is 60 Hz

XServer is showing the following modes available
1024 x 768 61 Hz
800 x 600 61 Hz
640 x 480 61 Hz

In the xorg.conf.in I see

I would like to be able to go full screen on the VirtualBox which would be the 1366 x 768 setting.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Try running antiX live in Virtualbox with the noxorg cheat in the boot menu removed and add by typing xres=1366x768

(or use the no cheats optiom at boot menu screen and type xres=1366x768)

If it boots to correct resolution, then copy your etc/X11/xorg.conf when running live to your installed partiton etc/X11/xorg.conf

Thx I will give that a try
