I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my VM which is on a laptop. The resolution for the laptop is 1600X900, but there is no choice for this under Ubuntu. A search online found a very complicated work around which I decided was too complicated for me to follow. No simple installation program is available, and the great programmers for Ubuntu do not care or have time to resolve this problem even though many laptops have this resolution. Ubuntu only offers 4:3 resolution ratios.
