800 x 600 default - need higher

Post by DaGunster »

Good Day,

Have successfully installed Virtual Box and Ubunto on a Compaq Desktop Dual Core and my Toshiba Dual Core laptop, both on Vista.

Apache works and FTP works on these virtual machines. Got Ruby installed - life is GREAT !

There are some dialog boxes in the GNOME desktop that are too big to see at 800x600 resolution and they do not have scroll bars.

QUESTION ... How do I up the resolution in the Virtual Machine to 1024x768 ???
