Hi,
I wanted to try out the OLPC's linux and run it via virtualBox under Windows.

It seems to run fine,I only have one issue,

My laptop screen equals 1280x800, and the full screen of the OLPC's linux is larger then this.

I read somewhere that there's a possibility to run OLPC linux on 1024x768

Am I correct?

If so, I allready figured out to edit files in the system files.

Which file hosts the setting of the resolution? (Like, can it be set manually to 800x600/1024x768)?

Thank you!

i'm not sure about running it virtually but if you set it up using sugar-jhbuild, you can do it like this

thank you for your reply;however I was able to get the OLPC linux working under qemu without tinkering (scaled in grub)..

I only need to find out how I'm going to get it working with my internet...

Virtual box uses the internet session of Windows, which qemu does not seem to be able to do so far...
