[vbox-dev] 答复: frontend with no display/framebuffer

[DRACULAX]

Thanks and I write a nullframebuffer (grab from VBoxHeadless) and it work
now.

And now I has another question. It seem that the own-defined frontend only
can start from virtualbox installed folder.

If I put my MyFrontEnd.exe into another folder and start it, the log say the
vm can not find the vboxvmm.dll and the path is wrong.

It look for core dlls from my exe’s dir.

Is it harden-coding?

Hi, guys, I recently build my frontend which based on VBoxHeadless.exe

except that I do not create any framebuffer for it.

When I start my frontend it got the following error output. 

It looks like the vga device failed to start. 

Am I missing something? Is the framebuffer object needed anyway?

Yes, as long as the VGA card is configured (in 4.3 you can actually disable
it using CLI) it needs a framebuffer. Wonder why it's worth implementing a
framebuffer-less VBoxHeadless look-alike.

It's required to get at the screen content, and it was considered too
unusual to have a VGA card and no framebuffer. When disabling VGA it's a
valid setup.
