Anyone else using VirtualBox? I'm using host: Ubuntu guest: XP. Seamless mode is nice, but it seems like it screws up SMART. Anyone else experienced/fixed this? Windowed mode is working very well.

I haven't used it in Seamless mode yet, but I can assure you that it works windowed. :)

Sure, if it is not run in Seamless mode. I'm not sure about Seamless mode.

You don't need seamless mode for that. The mouse integration is RCtrl+I, seamless is RCtrl+L.

Oh so mouse integration doesn't work for you? What host and guest do you have?

I sometimes run Ubuntu in VitualBox though not that often as my computer is not that great, not to mention the RAM is split in half when I run it. SMART does not work for me (yet) though I've heard that if you get Java through WINE it works, I have not succeeded in doing this though (I suck at using WINE).

Hope whatever I said helps :D

AFAIK, he was talking about using smart + scar over WINE.

I meant rather than, not over.
