The pre-installed VBox guest additions in PCLinuxOS 2010 doesn't work with VBox auto-resize guest display (With PCLinuxOS as guest)
Removing the pre-installed ones via synaptic and installing new ones manually makes this work.

But I also encountered another problem with it.
After every boot PCLinuxOS returns to the last auto-resized resolution instead of one manually set via the KDE display settings.
(It also causes some strange resizing behivor with the desktop image, it gets stretched)

Hello temp4746, Go to PCC > Hardware > Set up the graphical server > and set your resolution to "Automatic". This works best for me when running pclinuxos as a guest.
