I'm a little denser than most.... would that still be a factor when Vbox itself is running in win 7 ... jessie, in this case is the guest on a windows host. My lack of higher res, began when I updated to 4.3.12. But I'm wondering now if that was really the cause, or something else I did, because going back to a previous version doesn't restore the res either. And now I've updated to 4.3.15 on someone's suggestion and that hasn't corrected the res problem either. Far, as I remember I didn't monkey around with any xorg type settings. All that, not with standing, I did have 1500+ X ???? not so long ago, in this same guest. I've lost track of what version I was running when I last had higher res, but I think it was 4.1.32. However dropping back to that doesn't help now either. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
