Virtual Guest Additions Driver for OS/2 (Beta)

 -	the generic VESA gradd driver is being used (gengradd)
Updated installation instructions:
-	boot to the OS/2 command prompt (alt-f1 while the white blob is displayed
during early boot, then f2) 
-	copy all files into the directory c:\OS2Additions
make a backup copy of c:\os2\dll\gengradd.dll 
-	copy our gengradd.dll to c:\os2\dll
-	copy libc06*.dll to c:\os2\dll
-	comment out the 'device=c:\os2\boot\mouse.sys' line in c:\config.sys (put
'rem' in front) 
-	append 'device=c:\OS2Additions\ vboxguest.sys' to c:\config.sys
append 'device= c:\ OS2Additions\ vboxmouse. sys' to c:\config. sys 
-	add 'c:\OS2Additions\ VBoxService.exe' to the start of c:\startup.cmd
-	reboot

You need to do this manually so I suspect that you haven't installed the video
driver properly if your not getting higher than standard VGA resolutions.

Cheers,
