VirtualBox video driver works
I just tried with the latest build of ReactOS. It has some graphical glitches, but it works!!! Amazing!
Re: VirtualBox video driver works
That's great to hear What kind of glitches do you see? Got a screenshot?

When moving the mouse, it deletes the screen, or sometimes randomly shuffles it.

Re: VirtualBox video driver works
What version of Vbox are you using? What host machine? How did you install the driver?
As for what i tested, Vbox 2.1.0 hangs while installing guest additions. Earlier versions are supposedly working. Bugboy also told me about those graphical glitches.

VirtualBox version is 2.1
Host OS is Debian 5.0, machine: Gigabyte M61PME-S2, 5000+ Athlon X2, 1 GiB DDR2, Geforce 9500GT.
I installed the driver simply running the VirtualBox Guest Additions Setup, it copies the files, but after that, it gives an error: "Could not install files for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista! Installation aborted." After reboot, the driver works.
After adding to the registry the following keys: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VboxVideo and HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VboxVideo\Device0 and rebooting, ReactOS starts in 4bpp, and it seems that all the glithes are gone.

Re: VirtualBox video driver works
To change resolution you need to add an entry in the registry
HAX HAX HAX HAX
Open Regedit
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vboxvideo\Device0
Select the right pane window and right click
Add a new DWORD value
Set its name to DefaultSettings.VRefresh
Click on the Decimal radio button and enter in 60.
Menu->Restart
You should now be able to change the display resolution, etc.
NOTE: The above is considered a HAX.
As I checked a windows install on vbox with the driver loaded.
Windows refresh rate was 60.
Thought, this registry key doesn't exist in that location.
So I don't know where/how it gets it value for Refresh rate
or if it has a default value coded into win32k.

Re: VirtualBox video driver works
The glitches are fixed and switching resolution works now without hax.
When you install "VBoxGuest.sys" driver, for some reason there will only be a maximum of 800x600 available, if you don't install it, you can switch to higher res, too.

Re: VirtualBox video driver works
Strangely i have installed Vbox guest additions on buildbot`s bootcd (Via official installer, just deleted VboxMouse.sys before rebooting, so mouse cursor doesnt freeze) thus i expect VboxGuest to be installed as well. I was able to set 1024x768x32.
