Ubuntu 9.04 running in low graphics mode on VB 2.2.0 beta

Post by jowensnh »

I have installed the newest version of Ubuntu 9.04 in the Virtual Box beta and everything seems to be working fine except the graphics. When I start the virtual machine it will only launch in low graphics mode. I have reconfigured the graphics and installed the guest additions. Is this a known issue with Ubuntu 9.04? I also have Ubuntu 8.10 and Open Solaris installed on the same host and they are working fine. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry
