I installed Ubuntu 9 on VirtualBox 3 on my Windows 7 Pro laptop. It works perfectly, except that for some reason, my Ubuntu display is limited to 800×600. The resize command Host+G remains disabled…. any suggestions?

Hi again, I spoke too soon.
The answer to my question about missing screen resolutions is available on many sites: you edit the xorg.conf file.
However, this file does not seem to exist in 9.10. I guess the Ubuntu wizards got sick of newbies messing up their displays.
“sudo locate xorg.conf” returns only the man .gz file.
I’m about to give up on this whole project: I can live without linux.
