I testing Arch. I've got it installed as a vbox guest. I plan (if things go well) to eventually turn it into a live CD, as I can't find one out there now that fully meets my needs.
So far, things have gone pretty smooth, but now I've hit a wall. I got lxde installed (live CD, so keep it light and lean) and it works. The problem is the resolution is stuck at 640 x 480. I can't increase it. xrandr says my max is 640 x 480, which I know isn't true. Obviously installing specific drivers isn't an option as I plan on doing the live CD. Quite a bit of searching turned up several solved, but most of those were physical hardware issues in the end (Puppy does 1600x1050 as a guest, so it's not hardware or vbox) and "it just fixed itself" isn't an answer for me. What am I doing wrong?

This is probably your problem

rsberzerker, please edit your post.
When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
like thisIt makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

You must load the 3 modules explained on the archwiki for virtualbox. One of which is vboxvideo which has been stated above. Read the wiki and good luck.

1) Code tags added to my original post.
2) The vbox modules, and a reboot seemed to mostly fix it. At least I've got more than 640x480 now. But the wallpaper is messed up. If I set it for none, about a 1/3 (on the right) has none, the left 2/3 has the wallpaper still, but cut off, like the right 1/3 is laying on top. A minor issue though.
But as a follow up question, why are the additions needed? I thought the vesa drivers would be enough. Because I hope to make this a live CD, I don't know in advance what drivers I'll need, so having generic that can reach 1024x768 is good enough.

Vesa drivers are normally used as a fallback as it is very generic. Use the free or proprietary drivers for your intel/ati/nvidia instead.
Here is a quote from the beginner's guide:
"The vesa driver is a generic mode-setting driver that will work with almost every GPU, but will not provide any 2D or 3D acceleration. If a better driver cannot be found or fails to load, Xorg will fall back to vesa. To install it:"
