Hi all, First Post! :D

Sad to say i didn't seek out a vbox forum till I got a problem, but hey, maybe you guys can help.

I'm trying to get the game X3 Reunion to work on my system
I've posted on the egosoft forums as well, topic here: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 78#2828978

To make a long story short, the game doesn't seem to detect my graphics card resolutions, and therefore malfunctions.

Here's a piece of my DXDiag report:

Code: Select all

---------------
Display Devices

        Card name: VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
     Manufacturer: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
        Chip type: VBOX
         DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC

   Display Memory: 128.0 MB
     Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
          Monitor: Default Monitor

As you can see, directX has no trouble with my resolution. I've asked on the game forum if there's any config file I can edit or any other workaround. on the virtualbox side, is there anything I can do? I don't know where to start.
If there's any other info i should provide please let me know. :)

VBox does not support directx (yet).
