Video resolution

Howdy,

Virtualbox works very nicely under OS X with Ubuntu 7.04 as guest OS. I've had major problems getting Ubuntu to work properly with both Parallels and Fusion. Only problem is I'm unable to get anything other than 1024x768 on my 23" Apple Cinema Display. I'm using the same xorg.conf file that I'm using under Parallels -- which does enable me to run Ubuntu at the monitor's 1920x1200 native resolution. I've got the Video memory set at 128MB, which corresponds to the card in my iMac.

Any ideas for getting this problem solved appreciated.

Hi, i just changed xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

just add the resolution you want e.g. "1024x700".

Then restart X-Server and then you should be able to choose the added Resulution.

STRG+ALT+<- to restart x-server
