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.
