Hi all,
I upgrade virtualbox's video ram to 48mb. The configuration from Alex doesn't work for Tinycore Linux, but it does work for another live CD I got (Android x86).

Hi all,
I found a related post[1]. I will report back to the mailing list if anything works out (or not). :)

Hi Alex,
It's sad that your configuration doesn't work for me.
The vbox config file is test.vbox. I add a node under <ExtraData>:
<ExtraData> <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastGuestSizeHint" value="720,400"/> <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition"value="513,100,720,422"/> <ExtraDataItem name="CustomVideoMode1" value="1920x1440x16"/> </ExtraData>
And then I add the kernel parameter vga=864 via boot menu. While testing the resolution was resized back to 1024x768, which is the default value in the original test.vbox:
<VideoCapture enabled="false" screens="18446744073709551615"
horzRes="1024" vertRes="768" rate="512" fps="25"/>
And I update the above line to:
<VideoCapture enabled="false" screens="18446744073709551615"
horzRes="1920" vertRes="1440" rate="512" fps="25"/>
Still it doesn't work out. The log looks like below[stripped]:
[init -> vbox1] Error: fcntl(): command 2 not supported

At the very beginning vbox1 found the resolution provided by fb_drv and then resized the screen to 640x480. At #1 it looks like vbox1 found the configuration change and resized the screen to 1920x1440. And finally the screen was resized back to 1024x768.
I would say the resolution 1024x768 is somehow hardcoded into vbox1. Any advice?

Hi Naiji,
I accomplished this by adding a custom VESA mode to the VirtualBox configuration. Add an <ExtraDataItem> to the <ExtraData> node in the config, e.g.
<ExtraData> <ExtraDataItem name="CustomVideoMode1" value="1920x1440x32"/> ... </ExtraData>Additionally, you may need to add a kernel parameter to select the respective VGA mode:
vga=864
I guess installing the guest additions is another option, but the above configuration works in setups where this is not available.
Cheers, Alex

Hi all,
I am trying out Tinycore Linux in Virtualbox upon NOVA. Here is the virtualbox.run[1] I used. It's almost the original one. And here is the debug output[2] I got from serial port. From the debug output I see fb_drv detects the correct resolution of my monitor, but vbox resized
it
for some unknown reasons. The graphic output only occupies half of the window. I would like to force vbox to use the resoultion 1920x1440. Could someone give me a example about how to adjust vbox's
configuration
in virtualbox.run?
