My host os is ubuntu 9.04. How can I set 1680x1050 resolution in winXp?

Yes, I have installed and there is the GA icon in tray.
Before installing GA I can set 1280x1024, once installed GA maximum resolution is 1280x960!!!! :cry:

maybe I need to perform more actions but I don't know which. I cannot find in FAQ or in manual :cry:
Do I need to install a specific driver?

Did you try the VBox menu options for the VM? (topleft) like seamless mode and such.

Yes, but there is no option to set the video resolutions.

Please can you specify which menu and submenu?

Each VM has a menu, the VBox menu's, just like programs have window menu's at the top so does the VM, have a good look.
