Dear Christoph,
thanks for your help - I'm afraid using the <Host> - F and other options
has no impact. I connected an external monitor, and it wouldn't
recognise the appropriate resolution of that either (1920x1200), so I am
starting to think that this may have to do with the combination of
KUbuntu 17.04 and VirtualBox 5.1.22. But I don't want to go back to
previous distributions/versions just to make VB work - if there is a
bug, presumably it will have to be resolved. If there is a solution, it
would be nice to work out what it is! I have Virtualbox 5.0.26 on
KUbuntu 16.04, on a different PC, which works perfectly.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi,
I have the dame problem with my dell xps13 which provides a bigger
resolution than virtualbox capabilities.
No way for me too.
Either virtualbox is abble to, either we have to search another
emulator.
Regards.
Patrice.
to both of you: What happens on <Host Key>-F (Fullscreen)? Wait a
moment until the picture is adjusted!
((<Host Key> defaults to the Crtl-Key on the right side.))
In some cases I finally reached my goal by cycling thru the "view"
options (<Host Key>-F, -C, -L). Each of them is a toggle.
hth.

Dear all,
I am using VirtualBox 5.1.22 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th
generation, which
is running KUbuntu 17.04. The screen resolution is 2560x1440.
I have created two virtual machines, one with Win7 and the other
with
Win10, but neither will adapt to the resolution of the laptop
(neither
in terms of proportions, nor size), despite having successfully
installed the guest additions.
All attempts to condition the VMs have failed. At the end of the
installation, the desktop of the VMs appears small and
surrounded by a
black margin to the right and below. I have tried the
File-Environment-Display settings, auto resize guest, using
VBoxManage
setextradata, etc. but none of these works.
It is possible to increase the resolution a little, but this setting
does not persist, and is never in line with the actual
resolution. In
the Win10 machine, the cursor is also widely misaligned, making it
difficult to even change screen definitions etc.
Any thoughts?
