[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 316765, member: 24098"] Yes, Ubuntu in particular does detect screen resolutions very well during setup. The problem is that this detection is not variable. Once X decides what screen resolutions are possible, that's it - it's not going to give you any new options until you reconfigure X. So, running in a VM where any number of possible resolutions can exist, Linux is not really in it's element (regardless of the distro). To reconfigure X, start up your favorite shell and type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [/QUOTE]
