Description

At least kubuntu 8.10 Gets problems when a video mode is not a multiple of 8

VBoxManage setextradata kubuntu_8.10 "CustomVideoMode1" "1144x696x16" Works fine

VBoxManage setextradata kubuntu_8.10 "CustomVideoMode1" "1144x698x16" Gave a blank screen

VBoxManage setextradata kubuntu_8.10 "CustomVideoMode1" "1100x750x16" Gives "sync problems"

Suggestion make width and height multiples of 8

Replying to michael:

Could you please provide more details? I was unable to reproduce this.

Example: ( numbers selected so they are ridiculous ) VBoxManage -nologo setextradata xubu_phys CustomVideoMode?1 603x497x16

VBoxManage -nologo getextradata xubu_phys CustomVideoMode?1

Value: 603x497x16

Now boot linux with kernel params

vga=864 text

added to the normal line and see what happens And this is on an OS X 10.5 host if that matters. It happened with bot kubuntu and xubuntu

  • summary changed from VBoxManage setextradata VM "CustomVideoMode1" allows nonsense modes to VBoxManage setextradata VM "CustomVideoMode1" allows nonsense modes -> fixed in SVN.

Fixed in the development version, as per your suggestion. The X value is now rounded up to a multiple of eight. Changing the Y value was not necessary.
