All those 'out of sync' and such lines are in mine as well. I have full dynamic resizing without any xorg config. If you really want to work with xorg.conf, get the one from my tutorial (link in signature), reboot and it should work.

It seems the problem is related to the absence of xorg.conf?Enter your password, type 'y' and enter when you are prompted for it, and wait for the download and install to finishCode: Select all
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
In my case, the screen maximized to a 4:3 ratio, but not widescreen. Higher resolutions were not shown in the display applet.Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
You will be dumped to a non-gui console screen. Login again.Code: Select all
sudo service kdm stop
Code: Select all
sudo Xorg -configure
A fullscreen display is acheived.Code: Select all
sudo service kdm start
I am sure there must be a simpler way to do this; this just worked for me.
