Hi All,


I have finished installing Fedora Core 9 on Sun Virtual Box. However, I am facing
a problem with the screen resoultion. The only resoultion I am getting with the system
is 640x480. It looks that for some reson Virtual Box is not given Fdora other options.

Is there away to fix this.

Regards,

Abu Saleh

Change the video memory size from 8 to 16 in the Virtual machine.
Then
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find the section with

Depth 24
add a line for modes
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "1280x1024"

Then reboot
It will come up in the first Mode
Then you can see the modes in the Screen Resolution

P.S. Also, the more you supply in the xorg.conf about your Monitor the better - freqs, Physical screen display sizes, mfg/model.
