VBoxSVGA in Windows 10 Host VBox 6.0.4 and Centos 7.6 Guest

Post by cesarjorgemartinez »

Hi,

I'm using:
Windows 10 Host
VBox 6.0.4
and Centos 7.6 Guest with GDM.

Then, I see a new option in the VM configuration for Graphics Controller.
In my existing VM I have VBoxVGA. Then, if I set VBoxSVGA, start the VM, reinstall the Guest Additions, and then reboot this VM, the Additions is not working, disabling the auto-size guest screen.

What do I have to do to make the VBoxSVGA mode work?

Regards,
Cesar Jorge

VBoxSVGA and VMSVGA are new display controllers added to VirtualBox v6.0.x. VBoxSVGA is designed for Windows guests and VMSVGA for Linux guests. At the moment they both have their share of new software quirks so I would recommend using VBoxVGA for a while until more of the issues can be resolved.
