Two video card

[Fabiel Mendonça]

Hi guys, how are you?
I really hope everything is well.

So, I'm novice with VirtualBox and i have a doubt about video card.
My pc has 2 video card and I need my virtual machine to run on one of these monitors.
It's possible?

Sorry for my English, I'm from Brazil.

Thanks

That is not how a vm works. It does not use either of the physical video cards directly. It sees its own emulated video card.

It should be possible to arrange to have the host and guest displayed on different monitors, but not by linking them to different video cards.

Hi BillG!

Thank you for your help.

How you said, it's exactly what I need: "to arrange to have the host and guest displayed on different monitors", but it has to be automatic, the virtual machine must always be on second monitor.

How to?

That is a function of the HOST OS and not a virtualbox issue. VB is an APPLICATION and opens just like any other windowed app does, at least in a normal GUI OS.

Without any information on what host you are running VB on it is only possible to guess. Generally on a Windows host the VM will open on the last monitor you had it open on, but Windows is weird at times and will screw this up once in a while.

Hi Rootman!

Thank you for your help.

So, my host is windows 7 64bits and my client Ubuntu Server.
