I'm running 8.04 as a guest OS within OSX, and I can't get above 800x600 resolution. I tried installing Guest Additions and editing my xorg.conf to make vboxvideo the driver and adding the necessary resolutions, to no avail. Here's my xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I want to add 1280x800 and 1680x1050.
EDIT: Nevermind, upgrading to 1.6 fixed my issues.
