    VBox Display issues

    Hi All,

    I installed the Guest Additions by following the setup instructions I found on this forum:
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11
    reboot

    Upon reboot I cant get my display settings to the 1920x1080 resolution my laptop supports, I am stuck with 1024x768 that cant be changed.

    I downloaded the Guest Additions 5.016 and 5.017 iso from the VBox site and installed each (not at the same time) but when I start the machine I do not see the login screen using either version, I can enter my creds without seeing any login prompts and after the desktop load completes the video is perfect, but it annoys me that I cant see the login prompts.

    Display Adapter: Intel HD Graphics 3000
    VBox version: 5.016 r105871
    Kali 2016 Rolling Release

    I have searched and found suggestions to use nomodeset in the grub config but with that Im back to my 1024x768 screen.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
    TIA,
    raw

    This issue is now resolved, I deleted and recreated the VM using only the 5.017 Guest Additions.
