Fluxbox Screen Resolution

Now that I have my Fluxbox setup established, I turned my attention to the screen resolution because VirtualBox had it set to low (and didn’t offer any options to increase it). I wanted it the same size as my Windows XP  screen so I could switch between the large desktops and have it fill all of my monitor’s real estate. I know there is a way to modify the xorg.conf file, but I was hoping for something simpler. I found an Ubuntu forum post about using the following method:

/usr/share/applications/ Screen & Graphics (icon)

After you use your file manager to navigate to the applications folder, you click on the Screen & Graphics icon to bring up a  simple GUI. I manually chose a generic LCD that displayed at 1024×768. After I made my selection the system told me I had to reboot or something. I did that and was greeted by my new (larger) screen resolution after I logged in. Sweet!
