VM changes with 5.4
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VY7P)
I'm running Current in VirtualBox 5.28 on a 14.2 host. Since a long time I have used full window (not full screen), which should be 1680x928 resolution. My monitor is 1680x1050. I am using the built-in VirtualBox drivers and not GA.
I updated to 5.4 and notice the following:
* After loading the initrd, the boot screen toggles to full window rather than remain at 1024x768. I've been using VirtualBox since the Innotek 1.x days and never have seen this behavior.
* X screen resolution (Xfce) is 1336x738 and does not auto-adjust to 1680x928. The latter resolution is not listed in the Xfce Display options.
* glxgears is showing "actual" fps rather than a fixed 60 fps.
* There are only two I/O schedulers and noop no longer is included.
This is a test system. Just observations and conversation.
