I hope this is a simple issue. I have CentOS 6.5 x86_64 running inside a VirtualBox 4.3.12 host. The host PC is Windows 7 Enterprise here at work.
I have installed the Guest Additions (no problems -- everything compiled just fine) but I cannot get the display to scale. I'm stuck at 1024x768. I made sure that the vbox-x11 service is running in the guest, but no help. I've shutdown the VM, rebooted, it, re-installed the Guest Additions -- nothing has helped.
What am I doing wrong?!?
my .VBOX file is below.
