Hi, it is possible to add arbitrary custom resolutions using the vboxcontrol.exe (from the guest additions): vboxcontrol addcustommode <width> <height> <bpp> This mode will then be available in the "Adjust Resolution" dialog.
Also you could try to set an arbitrary high resolution mode either from the guest: vboxcontrol setvideomode <width> <height> <bpp> <screen> where screen = 0 is the primary display. Or from the host using the VBoxManage controlvm setvideomodehint command.
