Hi all, I am new to the boards & just recently discovered this incredible OS.
I have installed Ultimate Edition 2.6 & 2.8 into Virtualbox 4.0 with Ubuntu 10.10 as the host. I've given them both 1 GiB of RAM & 64 MiB of video memory & I have installed the latest version of guest additions.
I am trying to get Ultimate Edition from the small & unusable 800x600 resolution to 1440x900 resolution, which is not offered in the settings. Also, seamless mode is grayed out. That's how I got most of my OSes to my chosen resolution. If anyone knows how to do this or can lead me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone else accomplished this? If so, how?
Thanks in advance
Dave

1. boot to windows in vbox to safe mode (press f8 as you boot)
2. click on devices at the top and select install guest editions - now install and be sure to check 3D, once done
3. restart - start normal
4. now just click the maximize box and wala custom rez to fit your screen and D3D support as well as open GL support.
That and now mouse works right lol.
Remember to added user privileges to vboxusers so you can use all USB devices in Vbox.
Note: 2D and 3D must be selected in settings for your virtual windows settings.

Windows??? 
...I'm not using windows, Ubuntu is my host OS. 
I did however get the issue resolved by deleting my xorg.conf file in Ultimate Edition 2.6,
funny, I didn't have to do that with Ultimate Edition 2.8.

Sorry, was quite busy at the time and miss read your vbox question.
Did ya also install guest editions in root? Only way to get all drivers to install is in root account.
Helps at getting all eye candy to enable and work right in vbox and Linux ubuntu based builds.
