If what you mean is that VBox doesn't start up the GUI window to fit the resolution you've defined for X, I just discovered that myself. I have a custom video configuration for 2048x768. VBox still starts up the graphics window in 1024x768. Every time, I need to manually resize it. I don't see a setting for this anywhere.

If this is not what you mean. please try to restate your issue.

I have the same problem.

I installed Ubuntu 7.04 and got everything working fine.

( Windows XP pro as host, Ubuntu 7.04 as guest, VBOX 1.4)

Ubuntu starts up with 1680x1050 resolution. (max resolution monitor)

When I try to auto resize the virtualbox window (where ubuntu is in) , Ubuntu maintains the 1680x1050 resolution. I get then the scroll bar to move around.

But if I use a windows-XP guest and resize the vbox window (where XP is in), the resolution of the windows-XP guest is then auto adjusted.

So XP guest readjusts perfectly but the Ubuntu guest doesnt.
Anyone know if this is normal ?

Thanks
