The VBox-OSE-additions-x11 extension includes an xorg.conf that is compatible with VBox.

Code: [Select]
$ sudo cp /tmp/tcloop/Xorg-7.4/etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi juanito,
this one can be done after extraction only.

as u guided i need to add a custom line for resolution inside xorg.cong file.

Could any one please help me how to make the modified xorg.conf file persistent with a live ISO.
I will then re-master the iso to be packed with all VBox guest additions and the fixed resolution.

If you remastered the iso, why not just add /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your remastered iso?

Otherwise you could modify the boot codes to restore from a usb stick or hd.

if i add the /etc/X11/xorg.conf into the iso filesystem,
will that not be overwritten by some other xorg.conf from any tcz?
