Wrong video resolution with Windows8

[Marcel Kraan]

Hello,

I have a iMac (mountain lion) running the latest version of VirtualBox.
I'am running a client win8 on it.

everything is working fine except i dont have the right video-driver/display driver.

I have the Radion HD 6750M and the default screen? anyone has the same problem?

You do realise that you "virtual" guest is going to use a "virtual" display driver, right? It would be vbox video not the hosts adapter.
As long as the guest additions were installed (in the guest) and wddm was selected it should work properly.

Thanks iam trying to find out... first i think i need to install the "VirtualBox Guest Additions" for Windows8
Then all will be much easier?

The Guest Editions where not installed because i had no "DVD" installed so the install of the guest wend wrong..
But now i have added a DVD and the Guest Additions are installed... works perfect

Thank and hands up for Oracle..!!
