Ubuntu resolution issue

[Natesevol]

Hi all,

Can someone please point me in the right direction here. I have just installed ubuntu on a Sun xVM VirtualBox. Windows XP is the host.

Installation of ubuntu went through without a hitch but the only problem I have now is that I am unable to maximize the ubuntu window. It seems stuck on 16 bit mode.

On start up of Ubuntu I get this message from Virtual Box. I follow the instructions and try to change the resolution on the guest operating system (ubuntu) but dont seem able to. In ubuntu's system-preferences-screen resolution it is already on the maximum given. This i also took a screen shot of.

Please see screen shot of the message and the maximum size of my ubuntu session.

Clearly one can see I am a complete noob to all things technical. But one must start somewhere.

Hopefully someone here can help

Have you tried to click on the Clone Screens in the Monitor Resolution Settings window?
And then tried to make adjustments?
