Change Virtual Graphics Card

Post by DaLaunge »

Hello,

I'm just changing to VirtualBox and I'm new here.
After studying the manual and the forum, I can't find any solution for my problem:

I have a Windows-Vista-Home-Premium as host and a Kubuntu 7.04 as Guest OS
I installed VirtualBox Additions on my Kubuntu - System, but if I try to change my corg.conf (old Values)

Code: Select all

...
Device "Generic Video Card"
...
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
...
in sthg like that:

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "VirtualBox graphics card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
my system will hang off, while trying to start the X11.

Do you have any solutions? Is it necessary to pick another graphics-adapter?

thx for your help,
DaLaunge

Hi, I had the same problem in Fedora, but the solution was simple. I imagine it will be similar on Kubuntu..

Using the Display settings GUI, choose the hardware tab then configure the monitor type. I went for a generic LCD and simply picked the screen resolution that I needed.

Hope that helps.
