[RFE] Switch from VBoxVGA graphic controller to VMSVGA for Virtualbox boxes
Created by: juadde
Problem
In Virtualbox we can see a parameter is detected as invalid since virtualbox >6.0:
(Sorry for the screen in semi-French)
And the box seems to work fine with the following setting:
Solution Maybe providing the box directly with the "good" driver would ease its usage.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An easy workaround is to add this line in the virtualbox section of the Vagrantfile:
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--graphicscontroller', 'vmsvga']
Additional context This selection of drivers is new in virtualbox 6.0 (https://superuser.com/questions/1403123/what-are-differences-between-vboxvga-vmsvga-and-vboxsvga-in-virtualbox). I do not know if this setting would have an impact on "old" Virtualbox installations (<6.0). For Xorg to work "properly" with VMSVGA, xf86-video-vmware is needed (however automatic resizing does not appear to work, unlike vbox[s]vga).
