Fedora in Virtualbox - how to get the resolution right.

I have often struggled to get the resolution right with Fedora in Virtualbox. Due to a bug it did not work as it should so I was stuck with 800x600. This is of course not good enough.

I finally found a solution that works:

Go to a terminal - as root:

Code: Select all

yum install system-config-display


Then run this in the terminal:

Code: Select all

system-config-display


You will then get up this:

Pick LCD as hardware:

And select a resolution that suits you:

Reboot and you are done :!:

That tool itself IMHO is worth installing Fedora. :) I've never seen, even in Mandriva, a tool like it that "just works" like it does.

This will work just fine for Centos too.
