That was certainly 1 large part of the problem.
That command showed that there was no dkms pkg installed. So I
installed it.
Then fixed the problem that Yusaku O pointed out:

Upgraded the server as suggested.
Then one more part of the puzzle... This may have been on a thread in
a different group but somewhere in my queries someone recommended me
to install the newest (as yet unreleased guest additions 4.3.15) which
I also did.
Put it all together and away we go.... now my resolution increased as
I expand the guest window... all the way up to my monitors 1900 x
1280. Very nice.
Thank you sir for you kind advice.
