VMSVGA graphics controller issue in VirtualBox 6.1.0 r135406
Posted: 12. Jan 2020, 20:45
I've got problem with current VirtualBox 6.1.0 r135406 x64 installation on Windows 10 Pro x64 host workstation and
linux x64 guest system... With previous 6.0.x release everything seems to be working fine, but in current one I can't
use 3D graphics acceleration and VMSVGA graphics controller (recommended setting now) at all - because I am getting
640x480 resolution in my guest linux system that I can't change... Latest VirtualBox extension pack installed. Latest
VirtualBox guest additions compiled in my guest linux x64 system (CenOS 6.5, 6.9, GosLinux IC4, RosaLinux R11 and few
others that I tried). Tested on two different Windows 10 Pro x64 host workstations - absolutely the same results.
To be able to use my guest workstation in VirtualBox I have to select VBoxSVGA graphics controller and remove
3D acceleration option - only in that case I could set correct resolution that I want and proper resolution auto-scale option
working...
Because as I said this problem noted on different workstations and different gust linus systems I could suggest that
it's somehow related to current implementation of VMSVGA driver. Could you please advice if any solution exist for this
issue or I should just wait for next VirtualBox build and hope that it would be resolved there ?
