Display size

This is my first time running Linux in VB. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. For some reason the display defaults to 800x600 and the only other option is 640x480 :evil: I have gone under the display settings and can find no way to force it to a higher rez. I would like to get it to 1280x1024 but cannot find a setting, check box, button, etc in either the guest OS or VB to make the change. Didn't have this issue with my Win guest. Thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

D'oh...

Spoke too soon :(

After another reboot it reverted back to the 800x600 and the size options are gone again :cry:

Am I missing something here?
