Persistant screen resolution in VirtualBox?

[grindstone]

Yeah the 800x600 in Vbox has been consistent here, too, irresp of boot settings, but the video configs work right when booting on the real machines (not VM) and upon first boot after installation. Sorta used to that happening, honestly, with many distros over the years and didn't even really think about it at all until reading this thread. FWIW.
