Hi,

I've just installed VirtualBox 3.2.2 on my OS X system. I then installed a VM of Ubuntu 10.04. Everything has went smoothly so far except for the screen resolution in Ubuntu. I have only 2 choices: 800x600 and 640x480. Why is this? How can I get more options?

Thank you for your help

Install the guest additions (in the guest)
This should help Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions + Xorg config

I've read that I'll only get 1280x1024 out of it. Is t his true?
