Hello, I've installed Guest Additions now and I do see 2 vbox modules in my guest Ubuntu with lsmod.
But, still, when I select Enter Fullscreen Mode, only the VBox "container" window goes full-screen. The actual guest VM screen remains small and I don't see a way to make it bigger. I tried going to display preferences under the guest VM, but over there I see only 800x600 as an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
