To be honest I don't know...... I just have seen this while testing my
migration script for the different DEs. It could be just a quirk of the
Virtulabox virtualized hardware that doesn't happen in the real world.
I really don't know. The display in the X session thinks to be
800x600@60Hz but offers all resolutions up to 2560x1600 and
correctly resizes to them if selected.
