View Full Version : [SOLVED] Questions about VirtualBox with multiple monitors

Hi everyone,

I recently decided that it was time to quit dual booting and created a Windows XP virtual machine with Sun VirtualBox. However, I run two monitors, and it was very important to be able to use both of them with the virtual machine. I managed to get this to work by opening two separate remote desktop windows each with one monitor. This seems to work well, but I would like to be able to make these windows full-screen windows. I am pretty sure there is no way to do this with VirtualBox, so I am wondering if there is a way to do it with Compiz or something. Does anyone know a way to hide the window edges/title bar for a specific window, or to allow the window to be moved off of the top of the screen?

For reference, I have Ubuntu 9.10 with Compiz and emerald.

Thanks!

In case anyone is still having trouble with this: it seems that the functionality was added wen Oracle took over, so this shouldn't be an issue any more.
