Can't set screen resolution above 1280x1024

pnoskoJun 29 2010 — edited Jul 8 2010
Hi all. I installed R5U2 via VirtualBox. I'm on a Mac (10.5.8) with a display running at 2560x1600. I'd like to run my vm this size. I changed the monitor type to LCD Panel 2560x1600, but left the video card as installed (I tried to change it to radeon once but it hosed the X server and I reset it to defaults.

Every time I set the resolution higher it tells me to logout and restart the X server, which I do. But it always restarts back in 1280x1024.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
