Konsole works for me. The grey lines are likely not a symptom of the bug I'm seing, rather the only situation in which vboxqt manages to grab the vm screen correctly. > >From what I gathered from the net and my own tests this seems to be QT related. > Any yes, it hits more packages than just virtualbox-ose. > > The sources pointed me to this small fix > http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/qt-copy/patches/0279-svg-rendering-regression.diff?revision=958573&view=markup. > If this indeed is the problem I'd guess the package is libqt4-svg, not sure > though as I haven't tested it myself. > > Also I increased the severity because I think libqt4 should not migrate with > this kind of bug. Feel free to change if you don't agree. :-) It may be a bug in a qt library, but I fail to see the connection to svg. The screen is drawn by virtualbox and not correctly displayed by the qt frontend (except when pausing). I restarted my system today, and the first run of vboxqt was working. After that, corrupted screen again. I'll attach screenshots to illustrate what I'm talking about. Both screenshots show a Windows XP with the My Computer window opened. The background is set to red (#ff0000). Paused that looks quite ok, but running... only a few icons and other gui parts are shown somewhat correctly, but mainly it shows random crap. I don't know where it got that grey from that occupies most of the screen, but the stuff at the top is my firefox menu/tab bar. Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode repaints the window with new corruption, sometimes from its own window, sometimes from others. Best regards, Christian Ohm
