How to get 1280x800 resolution on VirtualBOX?

Hello, I have a 1280x800 monitor, and I can't get Virtualbox to fit into my resolution window correctly. With vmware I could do it. Is there any way to perform that?

Greetings

You can do it from a host console.
Start the guest, and then type in the host console

vboxmanage controlvm "put-your-guest-name-here-without-the-quotes" setvideomodehint "1280" "800" "24"

I believe it has to be done just once, but can't confirm- still using VMWare on my laptop.
