Your VM is using "VESA" driver. > My questions are: > 1) Where is this default configuration specified? It is set "on-the-fly" :-) Anyway, you can always make a /etc/X11/xorng.conf file and put there any configuration you need. 2) There are three > screens specified in the log, which one is used by default? The one is active, I'd guess the laptop's embedded one. "xrandr -q" will tell you more about your detected screens. > The default resolution of my screen in my debain VM is 1280x1024, but my > laptop resolution is 1280x800.

You will need to install "guest-additions" in your VM so your virtual machine can use a better vga driver.
