    I am using Dapper Ubuntu as my primary operating system and XP as my guest os. Ubuntu is running at a resolution of 1280x1024. When I try to put XP in full screen mode I get:

    Then I get the following message:

    I have the following in my xorg.conf file

    I am using a resolution of 1280x1024 on both primary os, Ubuntu, and guest os, XP. Thanks for any help trying to get my guest os in full screen.

    So does anyone have their guest os fullscreen if they are using Linux as their primary OS? Am I the only one trying to do this or am I the only one with the problem.

    I had the same thing using ubuntu as the host. I haven't found a solution for it.

    Using mepis or xandros as the host i can use full screen with no problems, so it seems to be some thing in the ubuntu os.
