I've never really messed with vboxgtk, so I can't speak for it.
Also, I've noticed that when working on the console in the virtualbox-qt frontend, when the screen blanks, the characters that are bold (or intense) remain on the screen, while the rest of the screen goes blank. While that might be a minor bug, that's the way all of the consoles have behaved since I've been using virtualbox. I doubt that this is what you are are talking about when referring to random crap, but I wanted to let you know anyway. > Best regards, > Christian Ohm > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: squeeze/sid > APT prefers unstable > APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (800, 'experimental'), (500, 'testing') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) > Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash > > Versions of packages virtualbox-ose-qt depends on: > ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration > management sy ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: > Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-8 GCC support > library > ii libqt4-network 4.4.3-2 Qt 4 network module > ii libqtcore4 4.4.3-2 Qt 4 core module > ii libqtgui4 4.4.3-2 Qt 4 GUI module > ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-4+b1 Simple DirectMedia Layer > ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library > v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii > libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii > libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar > ii virtualbox-ose 2.2.0-dfsg-3 x86 virtualization solution - > base > > virtualbox-ose-qt recommends no packages. > > virtualbox-ose-qt suggests no packages. > > -- no debconf information -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
