Problem with video resolution settings
I am running an Ubuntu 10.10 host with a Windows XP guest. I can't seem to get vbox to recognize my monitor resolution, which is 1440 by 900. The best resolution I can get is 1024 by 768. How is this done?

Re: Problem with video resolution settings
Did you install the guest additions (in the guest)?
