Problem with second display (external)

Post by coffeemug-fo »

Hi everyone,

I've used VirtualBox for some time now. I use it to run WinXP on my Ubuntu 8.04 system (mainly for my bank's iexplorer only system).

I have a laptop, which I use at work and at home. When I'm at work, I've a docking station, so the computer is connected to larger external screen. When I use VirtualBox with the external screen, the display will start to flicker occasionally (just briefly), but then after a while 30-120 minutes, the screen goes blank, and I have to reboot the system. Has anyone experienced this before??

You might imagine that this is "quite" annoying :)

Best regards,
Jóan Petur

VirtualBox 2.0.6
Ubuntu 8.04
If you need more info, I'll gladly try to provide it:)
