Ok, that's interesting... I don't know what effect the size hint had, if any. It didn't change the size of the window and it didn't cause the new size to appear in the screen resolution preferences. But... Apparently I haven't tried resizing the VirtualBox window recently, perhaps not since I added the guest additions. It used to be that when I resized the window or went to full screen mode, the OpenSolaris screen remained the same size and was centered in the VirtualBox window. Now the OpenSolaris screen changes size, including using the whole screen in full screen mode!!! Cool! I still don't know how to get additional choices in the screen resolution preferences, but with the ability to resize the screen that's not an important issue for me anymore. Thanks for your help!!! _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
