i have installed Guest Addittions 5.0.17 r106566 and Extension Pack 5.0.17 r106564

This indicates that you are not using the VBox 3D accelerated drivers ( chromium/humper )

Make sure you have 3D enabled in the guest settings and post the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log as an attachment.

Also post the guests log file as an attachment.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Does "~/.config/monitors.xml" exist in the guest? If so delete it and reboot then try again.

You must make sure that "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" reports Chromium/humper and not gallium.

i add a screenshot from the terminal

Still not using the right virtual drivers. I don't use steam so I guess you will need to wait until someone that does drops by.

i try with 5.0.18 and now the opengl drivers version work correctly... but steam big picture show white screen.
