   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,
