The VBox BIOS defines VESA modes, for instance: 0x11a = [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0x145 = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just boot your Ubuntu and press ESC while you are in the boot menu. A grub screen appears and you can press 'c'. You are on the GRUB command line now. Enter 'vbeprobe'<ENTER> and you will see a list of the available VESA modes. To select the mode with Linux use vga=<vesa mode> | 0x200, for example vga=0x31a for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that only VESA modes are provided fitting into the guest graphics memory. You can even define own VESA graphics modi, see user manual section 9.5. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de
