| 8 | Oracle VM VirtualBox uses special window manager facilities to switch
|
|---|
| 9 | a multi-screen machine to full-screen on a multi-monitor host
|
|---|
| 10 | system. However, not all window managers provide these
|
|---|
| 11 | facilities correctly. Oracle VM VirtualBox can be configured to use a
|
|---|
| 12 | legacy method of switching to full-screen mode instead, by using
|
|---|
| 13 | the command:
|
|---|
| 14 | </p>
|
|---|
| 15 | <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Fullscreen/LegacyMode true</pre>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>
|
|---|
| 17 | You can go back to the default method by using the following
|
|---|
| 18 | command:
|
|---|
| 19 | </p>
|
|---|
| 20 | <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Fullscreen/LegacyMode</pre>
|
|---|
| 21 | <p>
|
|---|
| 22 | This is a global setting.
