I tried editing my xorg.conf file too, but ran into problems. When I reset the X server, the login filled the screen like it was supposed to, but then I could not log in to Ubuntu. I could not ctrl-alt-F3 to a new console either. I did log into the default X with a simple terminal, but changing settings in the xorg.conf, again lead to the inablity to login. Perhaps I should have restarted the virtual machine, but that option did not occure to me at the time. After reloading the entire OS once and having the same thing happen to me, I deleted the VM and restarted with Ubuntu 5.10. Breezy loaded without a hitch and gave me full screen with correct resolution. So then I just apt-get updated and was fine. I wonder if the different graphics cards in the MacBook and MacBook Pro had something to do with it. More likely, I just missed something somewhere.
I had no problems installing Dapper Drake in my MacBook Pro. I manually updated the x.conf file to get my preferred resolutions though. Runs pretty good. I don’t notice any slow down using the Mac’s Internet connection.
