Is it possible to increase screen resolution of DomU?

I'm trying to run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop in HVM DomU. Everything looks
fine, but the maximal screen resolution is only 800x600. When I change
stdvga in guest config from 0 to 1 and set videoram to 16, I get maximal
resolution 640x480.

Is there a way to change maximal resolution for Ubuntu under Xen for at
least 1280x1024?

Using Xen 4.1.2 on the Ubuntu Server 12.04 Beta

I suggest you try more video memory.

I was able to get much higher resolutions with 32M of videoram, though my
HVM was Windows 7.

I tried to set up
videoram=8
videoram=16
videoram=32
videoram=64

Maximal resolution is 640x480 anyway, and I can get only maximum of 16M
memory in videocard despite of videoram setting.

in DomU
stdvga=1, videoram=8
