Re: slow performance on new (2017) retina iMac

Several other symptoms of the VirtualBox setup I posted about previously: Long lag from mouse-down to window chrome state change in KDE during drag-and-drop/resize operations Once I have successfully initiated an operation in KDE (e.g. a window resize) it's almost as if the mouse event stream is scr...

Slow performance MBP with Debian 9

Hello folks, I've got a new MacBook Pro (2015 edition) running macOS Sierra 10.12.5 and am having similar issues with VirtualBox 5.1.22 r115126 (Qt5.6.2) when working with a Debian 9 (64-bit) / KDE guest OS instance.

Problems w/fullscreen + windowed-guest resize in host

I'm running a 64-bit Windows 7 host OS and using VirtualBox 8.3.28 to run Linux VM's fullscreen. Or I have been for a long time but it's busted now for reasons related to some portion of a recent sweep of updates.
