Backtrack 5 and Orical VM virtual box

[cornflaks795]

Im having some problems with the display on Backtrack 5 in my Vbox. When i run it, and maximize it the vm , the Linux display doesn't go full screen just the emulator does however. And when I go to view, full screen, the display is distorted and not a good resolution. Is there any way i can fix this?

Make sure the guest drivers are installed.
I would contact the guys from VirtualBox. Also an alternative would be using Backtrack inside VMware.

Yes, and after you have installed the guest additions, you also have to go in "view > switch to scale mode" (or some other mode), then it will automatically re-scale to your VM box window.

hi
if you are using ORACLE-VIRTUALBOX: have you install a guest additions?
...if not:
root@bt:~#apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade ###update your distro#########################
root@bt:~# prepare-kernel-sources
root@bt:~# cd /usr/src/linux ###############need for headers of kernel###################
root@bt:~# cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/

now install a guest-additions:
in "" frame virtualbox "" devices> install guest-additions
when finished NEED reboot a VM!
