LOW VM display resolution with 5.2

Post by silvermangb@gmail.com »

I upgraded to VB 5.2 today. Now, I cannot get better than 1024x768 resolution for my ubuntu VMs.

(It looks terrible :( )

Update the Guest Additions (GAs) in the guest. There were some problems with the 5.2.x GAs for Linux guests. An update has been issued and you should download the updated ones for the moment.
