Fullscreen mode in VirtualBox

Post by n0t_s0_31337 »

I just did a fresh install of GhostBSD 21.01.20, after installing virtualbox-ose-additions yet still it stays 'small screen' in fullscreen mode, same goes for resizing window which also doesnt change the size of VM screen (Auto-resize Guest Display is on).
Shared clipboard also doesnt work...

  1. Stop (shut down) the guest
  2. set its graphics to VBoxSVGA
  3. ignore the in-application yellow alert – ignore the VMSVGA recommendation
  4. do not enable 3D acceleration.

☑ bidirectional shared clipboard
☑ mouse integration
☑ screen resizing

– I didn't test full screen or seamless during live boot.

Tested with GhostBSD installed:
