[vbox-dev] Calculation of required video memory correct for VBoxSVGA / VMSVGA?

[fth0]

Hi,

I'm feeling ignored. Therefore I have an additional question:

Where is the right place to ask the developers questions about topics, that cannot be answered in the VirtualBox forums: This mailing list? The Bugtracker? Nowhere?

Regards, fth0
