The forum attachment function is (perhaps fortunately in this case) broken. Really not interested in seeing the [b]whole[/b] log. Please just review it for errors or other clues and paste the [b]relevant[/b] information in-line bracketed by code or quote tags. If unable to determine what is relevant then use [url=http://pastebin.centos.org/]the CentOS pastebin[/url] and set the retention time to longer than the default "Day".

OK. Very strange. I have done this dozens of times without seeing such problems. Please verify that you have the Guest Additions virtual ISO mounted and are using[code]sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run[/code] (not VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run) as root.

Removing installed version of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules

Your guest system does not seem to have sufficient OpenGL support to enable
accelerated 3D effects (this requires Linux 2.6.27 or later in the guest
system). This Guest Additions feature will be disabled.

Building the main Guest Additions module [ OK ]
Building the shared folder support module [ OK ]
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions [ OK ]
You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used

Installing the Window System drivers
Installing X.Org 7.1 modules [ OK ]

You appear to be running an older version of the X Window system in your
guest. Seamless mode and dynamic resizing will not work!

Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions [ OK ]
You may need to restart the hal service and the Window System (or just restart
the guest system) to enable the Guest Additions.

Installing graphics libraries and desktop services componen[ OK ]

Very strange why it is not working!

I have pasted vboxadd-install.log using the CentOS pastebin

I have a problem with this too. I have installed additions and seamless mode works its just the dynamic resizing of the window that doesn't seem to work

Search the VB PDF docs /usr/share/doc/VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.4_57640_rhel5/UserManual.pdf for "dynamic resizing". One entry:

What is not working? The output looked pretty normal.

Somehow you lost all the line-terminators. Makes it very difficult to read,

I have modified, kindly check the logs again.

Thanks

I don't see any errors there. The "echo" commands are never invoked, as they would be if an error had occurred.

Once more, what is not working?

[ponic]

what is not working is seamless mode.

What about lines 30 - 34 ? :-?

And it looks as if the output was truncated during the copy / paste process. :-o
