Package: virtualbox-guest-x11 Version: 7.2.14-dfsg-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, I am facing a screen auto-resize issue in Xfce/X11 guest in the recent versions of VirtualBox Guest Additions. The latest working version for me is 7.2.0-dfsg-3. In all the later versions auto-resize doesn't work at all (resolution keeps the same size). In the guest OS (Debian forky, with guest additions from sid) I use VMSVGA graphics controller with 3D acceleration. Host OS is Windows 11 and "/VirtualBox/GuestAdd/DRMResize" property is not set. So VBoxDRMClient shouldn't be running (see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-resizing-linux). If I compare running daemons in the 7.2.0-dfsg-3 and 7.2.14-dfsg-1 version, I can see: Version: 7.2.0-dfsg-3 Before X session login: $ pgrep -a VBoxDRMClient $ $ pgrep -a VBoxClient $ After X session login: $ pgrep -a VBoxDRMClient $ $ pgrep -a VBoxClient 1554 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard 1556 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard 1562 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --seamless 1564 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --seamless 1570 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop 1572 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop 1675 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga 1676 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga Version: 7.2.14-dfsg-1 Before X session login: $ pgrep -a VBoxDRMClient 809 /usr/bin/VBoxDRMClient $ $ pgrep -a VBoxClient $ After X session login: $ pgrep -a VBoxDRMClient 809 /usr/bin/VBoxDRMClient $ $ pgrep -a VBoxClient 1630 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard 1632 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard 1638 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --seamless 1640 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --seamless 1646 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop 1649 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop 1662 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga-session 1663 /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga-session If I manually kill VBoxDRMClient and run "VBoxClient --vmsvga" in the 7.2.14-dfsg-1, then auto-resize starts to work again. There is no change in the daemon starting scripts apparently, so perhaps a binary behaviour change is involved?
