Video ram 1 mb

Post by Vliw »

Host is linux (5.10 and 5.13)
Guest is linux (5.14)
Video ram set in settings 128MB, mx. 3d acceleration on. VMSVGA

on guest:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | egrep -i 'device|memory'
    Device: SVGA3D; build: RELEASE;  LLVM; (0x405)
    Video memory: 1M
The overall performance is a bit lagging but I don't know if it is expected. Virtual machines on virtualbox (or any similar hypervisor) does not have near native video performance.

So is this somethis to concern? If yes what is the solution?

I will send log if required.

Please do. :D

Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
