I have noticed that if the DirectDraw/3D tests (especially the visual
tests) crash, they will not restore the screen resolution back, so I
sometimes end up with a 600x480 or 800x600 screen (this is especially
true when enabling compiz effects on Ubuntu 8.04).

Are your DirectDraw/3D tests crashing and since you are running in a
VM you are not seeing the resolution change (or have it defaulted to
the one used by the tests, with the exception of the colour depth)?
