[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 933231, member: 71075"] You have to install the guest additions to install vid drivers. Boot up the VM and when your desktop is loaded, go to Devices > "Install Guest Additions...". Once that is done, you will notice that the additions installers will be mounted at /media/VBOX...(I can't remember the full name but it can't be hard to find as there shouldn't be much in /media if anything). Open up a terminal and type the following:[CODE]sudo /media/VBOX<whatever the rest is>/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.bin[/CODE]It might be called VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run but I'm not sure. Once the additions are installed, reboot your VM and away you go. As an aside, you should always install the additions. It gives you some other features like shared folder support and pointer integration (so you don't have to click in the VM just to use it). [/QUOTE]
