The solution was to install the the virtualbox's linux guest additions -
VBoxLinuxAdditions (which installs drivers).
To install that I followed the VirtualBox manual at p60.
Before that, I installed linux-headers and kbuild packages from Synaptic.
After a reboot, the resolution is managed simply resizing the VBox window.
Thanks
Enjoy
