    Not able to get right screen resolution on VM VirtualBox with Ubuntu

    How can I get big size screen resolution on VM Virtualbox. I had tried to do personalize the desktop settings but it does not looks to be working. I am just getting two option when I installed Ubuntu on VM Virtual box. The resolution is just 640x480 and 800x600. I am not able to go above that. How can I push this to 1024x768. I am getting this in my Windows PC. I want to use the maximum resolution here. Can anyone help. Thanks.

    You might not be getting proper resolution due to poor drivers. You will have to install that first on your virtual machine. You can find it through software manager. Just go in it and search for latest video drivers. You have to verify all the hardware drivers and see whether all are installed or not. If you are unable to configure the video device there is very less chance that you will get the proper screen output.

    Did you checked in the settings first. Before launching virtual machine click no system. There you can find all video related options. You can enable 3D settings through that and also you can choose the default video adapter. That is simplest way to get maximum output. There are chances that different OS will not give you proper video resolution. This due to lack of hardware support. Try to find out related packages from the web.
