VirtualBox additions: VMSVGA display is not resizable
| Reported by: | paaguti-u | Owned by: | |

Description
When I select the VMSVGA display, I can't resize the display. VirtualBox additions are installed.
Additionally, selecting VBoxVGA or VBoxSVGA gives a compatibility warning.
I have also noticed that Google Chrome runs noticeable slower when I use the VBox--- display drivers, whereas it runs very well with the (not resizeable) VMSVGA driver

Hi paaguti-u ,
This could be due to multiple reasons. Could you please provide output of
/usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga -f -vvv
Before you run above command, you need to be logged-in into graphical desktop environment and terminate previously running /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga instance.
