[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#703239: Thank you for the info.

[ISHIKAWA,chiaki]

To Message # 60, it is great to know that at least on your setup,
resizing of windows work:

Guest: Debian Wheezy
Host:  Linux Mint Debian Edition (with Wheezy
repositories, but with the latest version of VB, directly from their own
rep

My case is

Guest: Debian Wheezy (I think. I have done dist-upgrade some time ago.)
Host:  Windows XP SP3
VirtualBox : 4.2.6, 4.2.8, 4.2.10 from Oracle's VB web site.

What irrirates me is that before my
trial to move up from VB 4.2.6 to VB 4.2.10,
the resizing, etc. worked well.
[With hindsigt, I am afraid that maybe I compiled the guestadditions from
earlier revisionf of VB under maybe a slighly earlier guest kernel,
and because WITHOUT recompiling, the older modules worked in the newer combination of the
VB version 4.0.6 and the guest Debian kernel,
I let it pass.
But then, when I upgraded to VB 4.2.10, it did not work initially.
Even the file sharing did not work due to a file corrpution from Oracle VB repository.
[This is since fixed.]
I downgraded to 4.2.8.
Then updated guest addition there (recompiled). Now file sharing worked, but I noticed that
video window resizing didn't work. That was the day before.

So I downgraded to 4.0.6 and tinkered, and in the process, I found to my surprise
that we can't compile vboxvideo_drm.c of guestadditions of 4.0.6 even. (So my
working vboxvideo_drm module must have been carried over from the older
guest addition [with maybe an older kernel???].

Anyway, it is nice to hear that it works on someone's configuration.

There is hope :-)
Although it is true that VB 4.2.10 may have issues on Windows XP (very old OS),
I will investigate for another day.

Thank you.
