After the reinstall of virtualbox the network issues I had with the original install have disappeared, but the X11 virtualbox video driver supplied by fedora does not support the 4k resolution of my monitor whereas the X11 vmware driver supplied by fedora does.

Sorry, I misread your original post.

The VirtualBox tools supplied by Fedora are simply those from Oracle that have been packaged and placed

run the installer from Oracle to install theirs.  I actually find them to work better in that screen resizing
