How do I start virtualbox from GDM?

[aniruddha]

I know there is a way to start virtualbox from GDM with the command "VBoxSDL -fullscreen -vm <vm name>" and an .xsession script. I only forgot what it exactly was. Who can help me to get this working?

edit ~/.Xsession

Code: Select all

exec VBoxSDL -fullscreen -vm <vm name>"

then choose Xclient script on the session's menu from gdm..

Thanks for the help! Unfotuantely when I log in with the xclient script twm starts and only shows a terminal. When I manually enter the line from my .Xsession file vbox starts perfectly. Anyone knows what goes wrong?

Here the contents of my .Xsession file:

Code: Select all

exec VBoxSDL -fullscreen -vm Win2000
