Hi again,
There's a typo in the latest patch that keeps this from it's intended result. In a vanilla 9.04 install, there is an extra space in the added line that causes the grep statement to fail and still default to vesa for the driver. On my system failsafeDexconf read:
VBOX_VIDEO-$(grep -e "^vbox " /proc/modules || true)
where it should read
VBOX_VIDEO-$(grep -e "^vbox" /proc/modules || true)
It'd also be useful to change the modes available as well, using the same that are already written in for QEMU. I've changed on my system the line
if [ -n "$QEMU_KVM" ]; then
to
if [ -n "$QEMU_KVM" ] || [ -n "$VBOX_VIDEO" ]; then
and added an additional "1280x1024" mode so I can use it full screen on my desktop.
Thanks for putting in the previous changes! This is my first contribution to Ubuntu, and it was cool to see it changed so quickly.
