FullScreen 1440x900 Resolution in Ubuntu 64bit running in VB

Post by manishjg »

Hi,

I am running virtualbox 4.2.12 on a 64bit mac 10.8.2.
The guest is 64bit ubuntu.

I am not able to get a resolution of 1440x900 which is the native macbook resolution. I have installed guest additions but no help...

Any idea, what I can do...

Thanks

Real full screen is obtained by using the host+F key toggle. Full Windowed mode will fall shorter due to title bars.
