xubuntu 10.10 guest -- can't get display > 800x600
Posted: 1. Dec 2010, 02:40
Hi,
Currently using VirtualBox-3.2.10 on WinXP-SP3 (32-bit), and gues is xubuntu-10.10.
The VBox guest addition had 1 small snag --
Am stuck with 800x600 resolution thanks to VESA drivers being used by Xorg instead of vboxdrivers, as I gather from this lXorg log:-
Any way to fix this scenario s.t. I could get higher screen resolutions ?
thanks,
BD
