Virtualbox Fullscreen Problem on Ubuntu (Not resolution related ... I don't think)

[eitai2001]

Hi Guys.

I've finally gotten round to getting VirtualBox and Ubuntu is sitting happily in there, and I can access my web server from any PC, so I'm happy
My only issue is that if I go into full screen mode, the ubuntu visual seems to get stuck. I can still here it logging in and whatever, but I can't click anything, and the picture stays on whatever the last thing was before I made it fullscreen. If I then go back to windowed mode, the picture goes live again and everything works.

It's a bit annoying to work like this, even though I have the screen maximized, cause I keep clicking on the windows taskbar.

Any solutions?

Thanks.

Regards

Itai

P.S. I have installed Guest Additions and tried finding a solution on google, but clearly I'm not typing the right thing into google search.

Dunno if you are running visual effects in ubuntu but if you are try disabling it.

Have you tried giving the virtualbox "graphics card" more RAM?

Had the same issue. Was the ATI driver. Update sorted it

I wouldn't even know where those are ... I didn't see any setting for that, please could you tell me where they are. Thanks

I had it set on 128mb with 3d, maybe I should turn 3d off ... I have it set at 64mb now because more didn't make a difference.

Thanks, will try see if I can get an update driver from nVidia ... I am using a new laptop with a GeForce M520, so that
is a posibility.
