[haiku] Can't Make Custom resolutions in VirtualBox

Hello,

I'm running Slackware 13.37 x86 as the host for VirtualBox 4.1.14 and
Haiku as the guest, I've also used what I was told is the latest
nightly to use;

haiku-hrevr1alpha4-44576-releasecandidate-cd...

I'm running Slackware on a Sony Vaio 15" laptop with an Intel i3 and
Nvidia 410M video chip and the native resolution is 1366x768, so I
assumed I'd be able to also run this same resolution in Haiku under
VirtualBox.

This is what I tried running;

VBoxManage setextradata "Haiku4" "CustomVideoMode1" "1366x768x32"
VBoxManage setextradata "Haiku4" "CustomVideoMode1" "1366x768x16"

Trying to run vboxmanage to change the resolutions, these are the only
two I've been able to get to show in Haiku;

1280x800
1400x1050

Should I be able to get it to work with 1366x768, or what is the
closest I can get for a laptop with this resolution?


THANKS

P.S. I also posted on the forum;
