Hello Lisa,

The problem with the guest not adjusting its resolution when you reduce
the video RAM should be fixed in SVN now.  When you set up the client
part (to try it out if you are having trouble with the setup, just run
VBoxClient in the guest as root) you should get dynamic resizing, and
you can also do it "manually" by requesting a resolution from
VBoxManage.  I am considering having the guest remember the resolution
set from one session to the next.

Regards,

Michael
