If I understand that article corectly, it allows one to change the
resolution _after_ the VirtualBox is up. Unfortunately, in my case that's
too late, as Windows has already configured based upon the low res/low
color setup. I really need X to come up in a reasonable res on the TTY,
even though the machine does not have a monitor connectd. I suspect that
what I need to do is put a nodeline entry in the X config file. I supose,
in theroy I could use a 2nd X config file for just this tty, but I would as
soon the main X session came up in a decent res when this machine is
rebooted, as well.
