Hi, TL;DR Debian installed inside Virtual Box (on a Debian host) does not support higher resolutions than 1024x768 when there are no Virtual Box guest additions installed. Whats the correct component to report a bug/wishlist request against?
Long version: Before asking on debian-devel, I respected previous advice, asked two people in private and reported a bug against Virtual Box. [1] However, I am not positive, I am getting a reply within a year (or ever). [2] And its not yet clear, if Virtual Box is the correct component to report against. Upstream (a Virtual Box forum moderator) says its not an upstream bug. [5] Quote: > Then you need to adjust the framebuffers of the guest. Since you > are negating the guest additions it is all up to you and the guest OS. > Custom xorg.conf would help too depending on the OS. But this is > all out of the scope of this forum since it does not deal with VirtualBox. Generally, I am not sure if there is a better mailing list for "whats the correct component" type questions. I am ready to accept any "we don't care, provide a patch or wait forever" response, once the concerned component/maintainer has been found. At the moment, I don't think I found this component/maintainer. Cheers, adrelanos [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714481 [2] Debian Virtual Box has other standing bug reports without replies within a year. I doubt these bugs are introduced by Debian, it looks more like upstream bugs.
