VBoxSVGA not showing correct resolutions

[vicsanc]

Host with Xubuntu 18.04 dual monitor: 1920x1080 and 2560x1080 Guest with Windows 10 registered and update and dual monitor enabled.VBox additions updated to 6.0.

In VirtualBox with VBoxVGA all works fine.

When changed to VBoxSVGA second monitor not showing correct resolution 2560x1080 in the list of supported resolutions. No problem with main 1920x1080 monitor.

Has this ever been addressed. This is still broken on Mac running Ubuntu 18.04

@dkardell

What exactly do you mean "ever addressed"? It was reported 3 days ago! What did you expect? And is it in the same spirit that you're talking about "still broken"? You didn't see any new releases in the last 3 days, did you?

Patience you must have my young padawan... (Yoda)

Thanks!

Now in 6.0.2 I can see the correct resolution 2560x1080 but when selected looks bad....like if it was 1920x1080 expanded to 2560x1080

Thanks

do a clean install of the 6.x guest additions by uninstalling what you have installed.

I have reproduced unusual behavior and even black screen hangs on trying to operate the VboxSVGA device by simply changing the device and then installing GA over an existing GA install in both Windows 8 and Windows 10

You've posted in 4 different tickets (#18460, #18344, #18339, #18277) just to warn people. :o

Do you think it might be beneficial to talk about your problem? And when I'm saying talk, I mean discuss it, in the forums, the ​VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there.

So, please open a new thread in the ​Windows Guests section of the forums and let's continue the discussion there, shall we?

PS. I didn't post a similar message to the other 3 tickets, just this one...
