#3789 closed defect (fixed)

with composite enabled, no usual vm window

Reported by: Torsten Wohlfarth Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 2.2.0
Keywords: composite no output Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

If i use the xserver with enabled composite, then i can't use virtualbox, because
the output of the windows has only halftransparent graphical crap.
If i disable composite in the xorg.conf, virtualbox works fine.

System is:

linux 2.6.29.1 Nvidia 9600 GT with driver 185.19

All guests are affected.

I forget to say, i'm using xorg-server 1.6.1 on the host.

For the record: It works fine for the reporter if he starts his VM with VirtualBox -startvm VM_NAME -rmode sdl.

The user is towo^work on IRC, here is often there and could be asked for more information if necessary.

Starting with VBox 2.2.4, you can do

VBoxManage setextradata global "GUI/RenderMode" sdl

to fall back to the SDL mode for all VMs.

Hello there!

First off i am from germany. But i will try my very best to post in English language.

I am using OpenSuSE 11.1 32 Bit Graphicsboard is ATI Radeon X1950 XTX. I am using driver "radeon". I can not use FGLRX because it is not in harmony with my setup and (legacy driver).

kde4-config --version Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4) "release 2" kde4-config: 1.0

X.Org X Server 1.6.1 Release Date: 2009-4-14 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux wild-thing 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-05-26 17:02:05 -0400 i686 Build Date: 24 June 2009 06:55:55PM

Before Version 3.0 --> (2.2.4 i did not have this issue.) I could leave Extension Composite enabled. Only thing was, whenever an Application used a special thing like transparencie, the picture was messed the same way like shown in the Screenshot above. After a coldboot it worked again. Even with Eyecandy (aka compiz fusion). Until this behaviour came up with version 3. A restart of Xserver fixed this already again with 2.2.4 for another startup of Virtualbox. This is not possible anymore with 3.

But now starting with Version 3 i have this problem no matter if the system is cold booted or the other way. I have to disable Extension Composite in Xorg.conf. But this is on cost of Compiz-Fusion usabilty. Which worked with VirtualBox 2.2.4. It was hard. Had to coldboot or restart X11 and such but it worked.

What i additionally tried was: Enabling/Disabling 3D functionality.

In case, please let me know about missing information!

I hope this is the right place for this question. I do not want to start a crossposting or such. In case would you please direct my to the proper Bugzilla? e.g xorg radeon mailinglist?

Many thanks for you Time and help in advance! In hope you can help me out.

Greetings,

Revealed

I have to disable Extension Composite.

Hello!

Just wanted to report that this works again in VirtualBox 3.0.4 r50677. I can reenable COMPOSITE.

Sorry for the much text in the recent posting.

Greetings,

R
