BETA3 changelog: "Devices/graphics: enable support for VMSVGA graphics device emulation by default"
Why ?
It could improve compatibility with VMware or why is it needed ?
VBoxManage modifyvm <VM> --graphicscontroller none|vboxvga|vmsvgaThere is no need for new drivers on the guest, if that's what you mean Don. You simply modify the VM either with the above command, or (new for b3) from the VM Settings » Display. In there, you'll see another new one, VBoxSVGA. I think it's a hybrid of the new and the old ones. I have no clue why 3 options are needed, but hey, the more the merrier.

Edit: Forget the "at some point", it does that already |

So, why skip a clearly valid VMSVGA that Linux users have heard. Two instead of three? What if I changed it manually from the command line? What would the GUI said then?Dave B wrote:if only two options appeared in VirtualBox UI, VBoxVGA and VBoxSVGA?
