    According to the manual, you should have to adjust the settings inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "VirtualBox graphics card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "2048x800" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
    From what I've read, you add whatever resolution to the 'Modes'.

    In case scathefire's solution doesn't work, post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
