Hello Jesse, Just a request - could you CC the mailing list too, unless there is something you don't want made public? This is helpful, because other people might think of things I miss :)

Off topic, but currently you gain nothing by increasing VRAM beyond what you need to hold the guest framebuffer. > Did some testing now. > When Appearance Preferences/Visual Effects is set to "None" everything > is OK. > When set to "Normal" or "Extra" then there is the problems stated earlier. > - Menu and Windows when closed do not fully disappear. > (see this screenshot: ***If I click the mouse, the screen is updated and > then the menu/window erase works.) > http://silentheroproductions.com/images/VBox_01.png I believe this is a general problem with Compiz (see my comments on http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4653 - you may want to add one yourself). I don't know if VirtualBox exacerbates the problem in any way, and in particular I don't know why you didn't experience this with version 2.2. > - Mouse cursor position in not correct.

I can't immediately think why this might be, since the cursor should be drawn by the host, not by the guest, and Compiz shouldn't have anything to do with it... I will think about it a bit more :) Regards, Michael > I am not using a virtual desktop, and I have not tried other versions of > ubuntu. > Everything was 100% OK using the last older VirtualBox 2.x.x.
