I think you hit the jackpot there... I had the version you reference
above so upgraded it.
Then along with Klaus mention of the dkms pkg which was NOT installed.
So those 2 things together has solved my problem... (Along with a step
already taken which was advised by yet another poster (Install an as
yet not released newer version of the guest additions 4.3.15)
No its smooth sailing. My debian guest picks up the resolution as I
expand it, all the way to my monitors 1900 X 1280... very nice
Thank you sir for the great coaching
