The ones about cpuid are interested to me. [--cpuidset &lt;leaf&gt; &lt;eax&gt; &lt;ebx&gt; &lt;ecx&gt; &lt;edx&gt;] [--cpuidremove &lt;leaf&gt;] [--cpuidremoveall] I just tried something like VBoxManage.exe modifyvm PP2 --cpuidset 1 0x000006E8 0x00010800 0x0000C1A9 0xAFE9FBFF But when the guest system PP2's cpuid does not change. Do you have anyidea how to use these options? Thanks, Ted </pre> Tao Feng 2010-03-16T09:45:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.general/8512 <pre>Hello!

HI, I may be trying to push what is technically possible but thought I would try it. I installed Linux Mint 8 32bit onto my new NetBook with dual core 1.6GHz ATOM CPU, 1GB RAM, and 1024x600 screen resolution. Then I installed current VirtualBox and installed Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3 into a newly created virtual machine. Then I installed current VirtualBox Guest Additions into XP guest virtual machine. All went perfectly with no problems to report. My only problem is that the XP guest virtual machine in windowed mode will only display 8bit color? Tried to go into Display Properties and change to higher bit depth but did not work. Going full screen allows me to use 32bit color depth, but can't seem to do that in windowed mode. NOTE: I allocated 384MB RAM and 64MB video memory to the XP guest virtual machine Any ideas? Thanks!

Should one work discarding from the top-down ( oldest-to-youngest ) or discarding from bottom-up ( youngest-to-oldest ) ? </pre> Cousin Stanley 2010-03-07T22:43:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.general/8475 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, In my VirtualBox images, I seem to have a problem with keyboard keystroke repeat. In a guest OS session, when in a shell window, or a VI session, I hold down a key for a few moments, it suddenly keeps on repeating for several minutes in a row. E.g, arrow-down, or repeated 'dd' in VI kept pressed for a short time then released does quite often not just move down, or erase a few lines, but suddenly keeps repeating for several minutes (moving down or erasing rest of file and at end of file keeping to repeat like crazy). If I'm 'just in time' to release the pressed key, the behaviour is OK: repeating a few times then stopping. There seems to be a point where behaviour toggles from normal to erratic is a split second. I have this in Linux guests (both Centos and Debian have same symptoms); Windows guests do not seem to have the issue. While I have the issue in one guest, this is completely blocked (mouse moves work, but clicks are not giving any effect</pre> Erik J.

I think it's a given that Oracle will expect their new Sun purchase to turn a profit sooner than later. If it doesn't, what parts will they shed and abandon? That they have announced the decommissioning of vbox-users is also worth worrying about. The actual cost of hosting the mailing list is close to zero, so what are they thinking? Was Sun paying employees to participate in the list and now Oracle wants to cut back? What issues will the community face if VirtualBox is cast adrift?

The application starts up ok, but when trying to view a video, the error: "Directv2pc cannot display this video because your graphics card does not support screen capture for protected content" I believe the graphics card is a vbox virtual graphics adaptor - thats why I'm asking this here.

English is not my mother language, so please, forgive me for any dumb thing that i may say. What do I have: I'm running a Ubuntu 9.10 i386 with the lastest vbox instalation. I have a remote server running an Debian Etch AMD64 with no GUI. I'll use the standard vbox version, not the OSE one. What do i have to do: Install an Windows Server 2008 Standard 32bit here in my machine and export it to run in the Debian server. Which are my doubts: Can I run vbox without a GUI? Can I install vbox from the repos without installing a full graphical user (without the vbox GUI and/or the system GUI, like an X with KDE or Gnome)? I'll have trouble for installing the system in a 32bit OS and export to a 64bit one? There are others majors issues that i should expect? Tks in advance. </pre> Leonardo Carneiro - Veltrac 2010-03-05T12:49:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.general/8443 <pre> Greetings, I am getting a strange C++ error while attempting to build the SDL interface (building against SDL 1.2.14): src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/VBoxSDL.cpp: In function ‘int TrustedMain(int, char**, char**)’: src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/VBoxSDL.cpp:1829: error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type ‘VBoxSDLFB’ src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/Framebuffer.h:50: note: because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘VBoxSDLFB’: out/darwin.intel64/release/dist/sdk/bindings/xpcom/include/VirtualBox_XPCOM.h:12450: note: virtual nsresult IFramebuffer::GetWinId(PRUint64*) Any hints/advice would be greatly appreciated.

But I also want to thank all contributors for their shared wisdom in supporting vbox (used vmware for a long time, but have recently and happily made the switch to vbox). And concerning forums, I am member of some, but the simplicity and effectiveness of a mailing list is far superior.
