Problem with video resolution settings

Post by explainer »

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? :(

Did you install the guest additions (in the guest)?
