was able to create a xorg.conf.new file under /home..
tried making a copy to /etc/X11 (but can't do it properly..how should it be moved?)
am lost at configuring it..

spent many sleepless nights following different threads...and I can't seem to get it right. step by step help would be really appreciated.

[halitech]

try this.

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

this should open a new blank file. Then copy and paste the info from this post into it

Save the file and reboot. you *should* now have 1024x768 resolution.

[halitech]

I'm having same issue, I just installed Xubuntu 9.1 on VirtualBox adn the resolution is stuck at 800x600, and I can't go higher.

I tried running sudo Xorg -configure, I can't get that to run because I can't get X server to stop because of gdm

i tried reconfiguring, doesn't work

I tried to change xorg.conf, the file doesn't exist

Is there GUI tool to configure X that can be installed?

If this can't be fixed it makes my VM useless since I won't be able to move it toother machines with different resolutions.

[halitech]

did you install the VirtualBox addons?

Do you mean add ons for the guest or add ons for the host, my host is Windows XP?

[unknownjason]

I just did what was suggested, and on the reboot, it wont. At all. It just rapid flashes on a black screen for my login name, but i cannot type anything.
Did I break everything?
I'm scared.

Do you mean add ons for the guest or add ons for the host, my host is Windows XP?

once you boot into the virtual machine, there is an option to install guest addons. You need to install them to get better resolutions.
