Note for readers: this is in dmd.conf and is a relatively new thing.
My dmd 2.051 and older installs always worked, but with the 2.053
beta I just played with, had to make this change as well as
recompile dmd for stupid centos to work with it.
Do we know what that switch is for? Just curious.
CentOS 4.2 (or maybe it's just KDE) runs so slow in a VM
KDE sucks. The best thing to do is probably to not bother with a
gui in the vm at all as well as to not use the virtual machine
screen - they are slow as sin.
Actually I just realized it was Gnome. (I don't know I could have mixed
those two up...)
Instead, run sshd on the linux vm, make inbound networking work
to port 22 (however you do that in virtual box) and then access
it through PuTTY or something.
That way, you bypass the slow ass VM graphics entirely.
(similarly, if you virtualize Windows, Remote Desktop into the
VM works a lot better than the vm's own graphics in my experience).
XP seems to work fine for me in VirtualBox (And my CPU doesn't even have
hardware virtualization support). But I may go ahead and try something like
you're suggesting.
I have had trouble with this same thing before using versions of VMware.
However, we use vmware virtual server now (free) to run centos 4. to
power a media wiki site, which does work without any trouble.
Although I have found virtualbox is generally very good with all this.
Otherwise yes, I would try to ssh in instead.
