README.testing revision 23ff0a80f28ba27da3cb458face82665fe65e96c
This file contains some notes about things to try out to give the X.Org video
driver a reasonably thorough test. We will add cases of things which have been
known to fail in the past to this file as we discover them.
* Test XFree86 guests (CentOS 3), early X.Org (CentOS 5) and recent
(CentOS 6 and 7, current Ubuntu/Fedora). Test Solaris guests (10 and 11?).
* Dynamic resizing should work, on CentOS 6 and later Linux guests it should
work without VBoxClient running.
* Disabling and enabling virtual screens (only possible as of 4.4).
* Dynamic resizing with one of more virtual screens disabled.
* Test switching to virtual terminals and back from windowed, full screen and
seamless modes.
* Test switching directly between normal, full-screen, seamless and scaled
modes.
* Test enabling and disabling guest screens from the host.
* execute "xprop -root | grep VBOX" after resizing a screen: VBOX_SIZE_HINTS
should be set, and VBOX_SIZE_HINTS_MISMATCH should equal 0 on CentOS 6 and
later.
* Shutting down and re-starting a virtual machine should restore the last size
for all monitors (note: currently only after log-in).
