Graphics driver

Post by pinnerite »

I have two Windows guests running over VirtualBox 7.0.8 on Linux Mint 21.1. Win 10 and Win XP.
I can only run one guest at a time.
My screens are 1920 x 1080 (21.5 inch diagonal)
Both Windows though will only take up the centre of the screen in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
I cannot stretch them sideways.
Is this due to a limitation in the Vbox driver?

The Guest Additions have to be installed in the VM for better host screen-filling support. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ns-windows
