[Solved] 1024x768 not working

Post by randyriegel »

I am running VirtualBox on Windows Vista. I set up a Kubuntu virtual machine and I can only get Kubuntu to recognize 640x480 and 800x600... I'd like to be able to use it as 1024x768 at least. I cannot find any settings in virtual box that allow me to choose the maximum size... any ideas? My video memory is set to 64MB.
