I currently use my ubuntu virtualbox in 1024×768 (host is 1600×1200). What version of VirtualBox are you using? 2.1 was released just recently, worth upgrading to. Have you installed the Guest Additions? Devices -> Install Guest Additions. Once you have done both of those, i see no reason why it shouldn’t allow you to set a bigger resolution, i have a Windows 2008 VM too that i use full screen, so it should be OK. Also, do you have your Graphics Card drivers install on your Host? (Are you windows/linux on the host?) Cheers! Dean p.s. Just posted another article in the pong series ;) Hey Thiago,

But on virtualbox i couldn't find a way to increase my view, even if i maximize the window it stays that res 800x600 i think? on the os thats the only option availabe(800x600) Do you know how could i get my view bigger? thanks and keep up the good work. hey man, i liked your tutorial…
