Using SVGA

Post by 270MAG »

My VB version is 3.0.8.
My host is Vista Home Premium X64.
Guest is Windows 98.

The install works OK, but it uses VGA only. I can't get the guest WIN98
to display SVGA (or anything larger than VGA). Is this a limitation imposed
by VirtualBox?

WIN98 installed on a PC typically has no problem with SVGA or better. It
sure would be nice if WIN98 running on VB would work with SVGA.

It does.
Read the Windows 95/98 tutorial under Windows Guests.
