[Bug 988589] Re: Screen Resolution not set as per my laptop

[Dave Lentz]

Thanks for reporting, but this is not a bug if you are running Ubuntu as
a VM inside Virtualbox, since Virtualbox only uses the basic VESA driver
by default. You must install Virtualbox's Guest additions to access
higher resolutions.

  "While the virtual graphics card which VirtualBox emulates for any
guest operating system provides all the basic features, the custom video
drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with
extra high and non-standard video modes as well as accelerated video
performance." -- https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html

Title:
  Screen Resolution not set as per my laptop

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am testing 12.04 Ubuntu amd64 dvd.
  While testing using Oracle VM  version 4.1.8 I found out that screen resolution can be set only to 800x600 or 1024x768.
  My laptop is of 14" and supports 1366x768. Due to this I can't see full screen optimized to my laptop.
  I am using Dell N4010.
