Message:

bugref:8533: Additions/x11: fully support VMSVGA
Add VBoxClient support for dynamic resizing with VMSVGA enabled. This is not yet started by default. VBoxClient --vmsvga should be run as root outside of an X session for recent versions of the Linux kernel and interacts with the SVGA kernel graphics driver. When run inside an X session it interacts with the X11 graphics driver.
