Any folks running jessie in a vbox vm... maybe will know what to do
here. 

I upgraded vbox from 4.3.10 to 4.3 14.  Now the best screen res I can
get in 1024 x 768.   When it was something like 1500 x ????.  Not sure
of exact setting but desktop was much larger when I logged in before
this upgrade.

OK, often it is the case that one needs to install the guest
additions.

When I do that, it seems to build everything but does give the sort of
ominous sounding warning:

  [...]
  Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules ...done.
  Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
  The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
  module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
  [...]

So I checked my kernel with uname -r and it shows 3.14-1-486.

Ok, so checked the header pkgs available and installed a meta pkg
saying `all'.  Now installed:

  i   linux-headers-3.14-1-486        - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-486       
  
  i A linux-headers-3.14-1-686-pae    - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-686-pae   
  
  p   linux-headers-3.14-1-all        - All header files for Linux 3.14 
(meta-pack
  i   linux-headers-3.14-1-all-i386   - All header files for Linux 3.14 
(meta-pack
  i A linux-headers-3.14-1-amd64      - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-amd64     
  
  i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common     - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1    
  
  i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common-rt  - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1-rt 
  
  i A linux-headers-3.14-1-rt-686-pae - Header files for Linux  
3.14-1-rt-686-pae  


Logged out and back in, tried again.... I still get that ominous
message but as before it seems to build everything:
  
  [...]
  The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
  module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
  
  Building the main Guest Additions module ...done.
  Building the shared folder support module ...done.
  Building the OpenGL support module ...done.
  Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.
  You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used
  
  Installing the Window System drivers
  Warning: unsupported pre-release version of X.Org Server installed.  Not
  installing the X.Org drivers.
   ...done.
  Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components ...done.
  
So what headers is this darn thing looking for?

Or can I conclude that all was built as expected?

At any rate, I still have only 1024 x 768 res... 

And yeah I've rebooted.
