Enabling second monitor in Fedora 18 crashes VirtualBox
Posted: 30. Jan 2013, 18:45
I'm currently running VirtualBox on a Dual Monitor Windows 7 64 bit PC with an i7 processor, Radeon HD 6450 Video Card, 8GB of Memory and 500 GB hard drive.
I have VirtualBox 4.2.6 with a VM running Fedora 18 64 bit. I have the display memory set to 64 MB (should be plenty to run two 1920 x 1280 monitors), the virtual HD is 75 MB and the memory is set to 2GB. When I try to enable the second monitor in VirtualBox, I get a Windows Alarm that VirtualBox has stopped running. How do I enable the second monitor? The log is attached.
Note: As I read this again there may be a misunderstanding. When I enable a second monitor in VirtualBox (full screen mode) then boot and login to Fedora 18, Windows 7 reports that Virtual box crashed. Fedora 18 is un-responsive at that time. Reverting to a single monitor seems to be the only solution, but I sure would like to use that second monitor.
