Hello everyone,
I'm running a Windows XP host that splits the desktop across two monitors. I'm running Mandriva 2009 as a virtual machine, but cannot figure out how to split the desktop across two monitors. Has anyone had success with this?
Cheers

vbox only shows full screen on primary display unfortunately.
Try starting vm on sec monitor and do seamless. It'll disappear but will respond to HOSTkey+L to return.

Actually I just did it.... I just dragged the VB window to the secondary monitor, maximized the window and toggled full screen, and it worked perfectly. Not sure if this is video-card related.

Might be card related or something (OS revison, etc). Doesn't work on mine, the guest just disappears if I do that.

i do remember going seamless on secondary used to work for me with xp x64 (i always used nvidia cards) but not with vista x64.
So that points to OS/driver issue?
