I installed the guest additions and was then able to set screen size to 1024x768.  Using xrandr i'm only given a couple of options for screen size, 1024x768, 800x600. Is there a way to get SaoS to allow me more choices? or is this a limitation of Vitrualbox, and should I look at trying a different virtual machine program?  Your help and advice is greatly appriciated.

VMWare does, in OLPC images there used to be a xorg-vmware.conf for that purpose. Have not tried with SoaS though. - Bert - On 26.02.2010, at 17:06, Sean Daly wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Tom, you're a whiz with VMs :-) perhaps you have advice for Kevin? thanks Sean ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Petursson <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:thalon@mymts.net"><thalon@mymts.net></a> Date: Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 1:58 AM Subject: Blueberry Screen Resolution To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:feedback@sugarlabs.org">feedback@sugarlabs.org</a> Hello, I am running Blueberry release in Sun Virtual Box Environment on a Windows XP machine. I tried to use the Pippy python programming application but was unable to see very much of the left hand column of what seem to be example folders/programs. Is there a way to increase the screen resolution to 1200x900 (XO native resolution) from the default 800x600? So far my kids (7 and 4) both love using this OS. Although at this point they see it a just another program. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
