WinXP guest display/keyboard extremely laggy on VB 2.2.2 Ubuntu host

[manankanchu]

After upgrading to VB 2.2.2. display and keyboard are extremely slow and laggy.

Typing at normal "2-finger" speed in and editors windows causesletters being omitted or mirrored. Cursors is always several letters back of typing.

Grabbing and then movin window around causes splitting of window into several pieces and then slowly reorganizing of window ... like in old times with graphic card too slow.

Fits to discussion on ​http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16388

I'm using VB since a while and never had such problem on former 2.1.0

Is it possible that the VM window is just not responsible enough, that is, the display is too slow? Does it change anything if you start your VM manually with VirtualBox --startvm VM_NAME --rmode sdl?

Replying to frank:

Well, it worked perfectly and fast before with VB2.1

Does it change anything if you start your VM manually with VirtualBox --startvm VM_NAME --rmode sdl?

Yes ... that helps perfectly !! .... just found the same issue on ​http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3900.

I will resolve this ticket ... hoping one of the future VB releases solves this issue ...

Tnx a lot for your response !!
