I use ubuntu 15.04 with my lenovo g505s laptop. I installed virtual box to use windows xp sp3 but there is no 1366x768 resolution. I have already assigned 256mb video memory(instead of 128) but I still cant change the resolution. I have higher resolution options like 1280x1024 but I have to scroll a lot and it makes program using impossible.

TheOperator over 4 years+1. The menu is slightly confusing, as there are only a few options to select (start menu + Direct3D for me), which also seem irrelevant here. However, it will install a lot of guest additions on top of them. Following this advice did not only allow me to choose more resolutions, but also sped up my mouse cursor considerably.
