Windows 10 Preview - Multiple Monitors

Post by RodneyBaker »

Hi all. I'm running a Linux (openSuSE 13.1 x86_64) host with 16GB RAM and a quad-core 3.1GHz Intel CPU, running Windows 7 succesfully with 2 monitors defined (and 256MB video RAM allocated). Installed Windows 10 Preview 64bit build 9926 (using Windows 8.1 64bit profile) but I cannot get the VB video drivers to install. The other Guest Additions drivers seem to install OK (e.g. mouse integration works) but the video driver installation crashes and after a restart the system still reports the "Microsoft Basic Video Driver" is in use. It recognises only one screen, even tbough VB is configured for two (same as Win7 which works correctly).

Does anyone have the Win 10 preview running as a guest with multiple monitors?

TIA,
Rodney.

EDIT: I have set a custom video mode using VBoxManage (1680x1050x32) and that works fine.
