Nvidia Dualview mode + Seamless mode (CTRL+L)

Post by soundguy »

Is there a way to make "Seamless mode" working with Nvidia "Dualview mode" under Windows XP host OS with Windows XP host OS?

I'm unable to get "Seamless mode" on the secondary screen. On the primary screen everything works fine.

I also tried the latest beta version of VirtualBox 3.x. At least it looked like there appeared a taskbar on the secondary screen after pressing CTRL+L, but after clicking on that taskbar, it just disappeared.

Can you help me? Is this a bug or feature of VirtualBox? Do you plan to improve this or add in upcoming versions?

Thanks in advance for your reply, Ivan B, Czech Republic

At the time seamless only works in the primary monitor and not the second one.
This question has been asked a lot and it has been mentioned that it is/will be worked on but no date has been issued.

I understand that seamless mode only works on the primary monitor. However, where does seamless mode pull its information from? If I can trick vb into thinking it has a 3360x1050 sized single monitor, then I would be happy for now.

Well I have not tried this (I have a 24 inch monitor and not a dual screen any more) but have you tried to drag the normal screen to see if will scan to the other monitor? Other than that You will need to wait for one of the DEV's to see this. Sorry.
