    I tried to use the internet wisdom, but I didn't get any ideas how to fix it. Host windows, guest fedora 23. Graphic card intel 4600. No settings in BIOS affecting the card. Virtualisation allowed in BIOS. The memory is probably not a problem because it fails on a resolution lower tan current.

    Any idea what's going on? Obviously the new resolution doesn't work.

    Edit: Guest add-ons in place, compiling fine.
    Edit1: Host resolution 1920x1080, but using VGA cable.
    Edit2: Guest add-ons reporting this:
    "Installing the Window System drivers
    Warning: unsupported pre-release version of X.Org Server installed. Not installing the X.Org driver"

    Edit3: Downgrading xorg with "dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg", rebuilding guest add-ons and restarting guest fixed the problem.
