[Solved] guest winxp resolution 1280x800

Post by kobolds »

host opensuse 11.1 x64 and guest winxp , I wish to set the resolution 1280x800 .
I try install the guest additions but endup 800x600 . only when I go seamless mode then I get 1280x768 .

I don't want seemless mode . I just want a normal full screen mode with resolution 1280x800 .

any way for me to get that ?
