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
