Re: VirtualBOX additions (again)

[Chavdar Ivanov <ci4ic4%gmail.com@localhost>]

VirtualBox 6.0.4 is out. I ran a quick build on one of my VMs, which
apparently finished fine. I still use the video driver from the
system, in my case 8.99.32. The new build starts X only at 800x600 and
does not resize. If I revert to additions from 6.0.2, it still works
fine.
