Reply with quote

So after quite a bit of searching around (on and off for a few weeks)...I have finally figured out why VirtualBox 2.1.4 only showed blank screens.

I turned off the video flag for libsdl which caused VirtualBox to stop displaying video. If you are in a bind, you can use

Code:

VirtualBox -rmode image -startvm VM_NAME

to start the virtual machine.

Moved from Unsupported Software to Other Things Gentoo, considering that it is in the tree.
