Well, below is a few key presses that you can use and some that you may want to avoid. So what other Host key presses can I use in VirtualBox? So you can go ahead and press the Right Ctrl + C to exit these modes. Well, the Host key on a Windows machine is actually the Right Ctrl key (unless you have manually reconfigured the shortcut keys).

One of these key presses is to exit scale or full mode which is Host+C or you can use Host+Home to bring up the menu bar and then you can click the View menu option and change the settings.īut – what if you are using a Windows machine – what the hell is the Host key!?. In the settings you will notice that mentioned a lot is the Host+(something) key. I see now that it's a toggle: it was on, and I needed it to be off.Well the solution is very simple but not very clear. I tried your additional xrandr lines, but I think what makes the difference is the "auto resize Guest Display " setting. (I'm not sure of the term, my machine speaks french but check for the shortcut it should be the same). PS: Check if you have activated screen resize mode "Host+C", you should not. I have absolutly no problem with may screen resolution it stays at "1920x1080".īut with enlightenment I get 4 desktop on each screen, it can get confusing. In virtual box I have installed the vbox GuestAdditions and I have set the screen to full screen with "Host+F" and automatic size "Host+G". I set myself the resolution with the followings commands: I have 2 monitor and use virtualbox on kubuntu with E17 for a windows guest.

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution 1280,1024 When you launch startx, you should get full screen resolution in a huge window, but may need to use the HostKey-F key combo to switch to full-screen mode. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 guest running on a gentoo host with two physical screens, which is working great except for full screen mode.įull screen guest takes over one of my screens (which I expect) but resets the guest's resolution to double screen width, which is slightly annoying.
