Resolution Issues running Ubuntu on VirtualBox

Resolution Issues running Ubuntu on VirtualBox I have an Ubuntu 9.04 guest running on a VirtualBox VM hosted by MacOS X Tiger. I'm trying to increase the screen resolution as the guest by default unfortunately supports only 800x600 and 640x480.

"Wes made a comment on the article you mentioned which helped several others that had the same problem:

Wes:
Slight change for step 3 on new
version of VirtualBox for Windows
Hosts. there are different versions of
the additions for x86 and amd64
platforms. between setps 2 and 3 you
can type ‘ls’ and see what the exact
name of the additions are for your
platform, then do “sudo bash
./VBoxAdditions-###.run”, replacing
the ### with x86 or amd64.

Try running the sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run command after cd-ing to the guest additions installation CD."
