Aw: Re: graphical desktop in virtualbox

["Pierre Dupond" <76nemo76%gmx.ch@localhost>]

Hi,
    I have tried the command but the mode 1440x900 is not found.
If I remeber well, few years ago, one has to add these
modes in the Xorg.conf files.

Is it still the case? Where should this file be installed (probably in
/etc/X11)?

Best regards
