The solution is to hit HostKey + Home, select "View", "Virtual Screen 1" and then select "Host Display 2".

It would sure be nice if these hotkeys were documented somewhere.

I just did the upgrade to 4.0.4, and while it's clear that I'm not having as much trouble as some users, I have lost a bit of functionality. Previously, if I moved the VM window onto the secondary monitor and put it into seamless mode it would run on the secondary monitor, no problem. Now when I put...

It doesn't help you, but I see the same on my Hosts, but not found a work around. Though I think that it doesn't happen when you run Compiz-Fusion. That's on my PC anyway, and IIRC, it didn't happen there like on my laptop. Don't have time to check that now, might check when I have and run a VM. Ye...

Anyway, I went ahead and updated the sources.list, did an 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' and got the new version no ...

So, I've been using VBox for a while on my Lenny workstation. When I first installed, I went from the d/l'd .deb file, but I just noticed that there are repos to work with apt. My question is, if I put those repos in my sources.list, update apt and install the new vbox will it handle replacing the o...
