I'm trying Zorin to see if I can use it at work or recommend to others for Windows replacement while retaining the Windows feel. Just installed Zorin-os-9-core-32.iso into a VirtualBox with Host Windows 7 Pro.
I've tried poking about in the forums and online and can't find how to get more options for Screen Resolution than the default 640x480 Zorin gives me in the System Settings.
I've installed approx. a half-dozen other *nix variants without having this issue so a little stumped why Zorin gets stuck.
And before you point me at a thread about SIS stuff I have no idea what SIS is or stands for and don't see any reference to it in my Device Manager.
The Host unit is Windows 7 Pro running on a Dell Latitude 6410/6420 (not sure which exactly) with Intel HD 3000 graphics listed as the Display Adapter.
My host unit has both it's built in laptop screen and an additional 22" VGA screen attached.
I even tried changing the default VirtualBox settings for Video to offer a "hint" of a larger screen resolution than the default 640x480.
I don't mind hitting the terminal and pasting some "sudo" commands etc, or modifying some startup script, but frankly this should work out of the box if you want more easy adoption of your "flavor".
So - any suggestions in my case?
Thanks
