@Far East
Thanks for the assist. One more hurdle to get past. I have the resolution now up to 1024×768(it’s now my only option) but would like to take it a step further to 1280×1024 to match my desktop. I tried the tweak above to edit the xorg.conf file but no such file exists, likely because, and I should have mentioned, I am using RHEL6.

Thanks again

Hi wizgi,
You can just run the command
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Yes, you can’t rename the file because it is read-only (consider as a CD/DVD). But, if you are intent to rename the file, you can always copy the file to elsewhere and rename it.

Newbie here. I’m trying to complete the changes for resolution however the file I have is VBoxLinuxAdditions.run (without the ‘-x86′). Is the file located somewhere else? Right click does not allow for renaming.

Thanks for the post.
