Virtualbox RDP Graphics Problem

Virtualbox RDP Graphics Problem

Hello all,

I am running Virtualbox on a headless Ubuntu server at my house and PocketCloud Pro on my iPad2. I have a Windows 7 VM on the server and I trying to RDP to that machine. I am not RDPing directly to Windows, rather I am using the VRDE server from Virtualbox. I have all the fancy graphics stuff on PocketCloud turned down/off. It lets me connect just fine to the machine over my home WiFi, but whenever I do anything portions of the screen go black. For example, when I bring up the start menu, it goes mostly black where the start menu is, and when I close the start menu out, the screen is black where the start menu was.

I have tried some of the other free RDP clients on the iPad and they don't have this problem, just PocketCloud.

Anyone know what the deal is here?

ETA: I have 2d and 3d acceleration turned off for this VM, the server has tons of processing power and memory(AMD Phenom II X6 3.2GHZ, 8GB DDR2 800). I only have ~32MB vram dedicated to this VM right now because that didn't make a difference when I was testing different settings. Also like I said, it doesn't do this on other free RDP programs such as iRdesktop. I am connecting over my local network which goes like this: Ipad Wireless-N>router 100mbit>switch gigE>server gigE. So the slowest speed in the line would be the 100 mbit port on the router, which is more than enough to handle this traffic. Also it doesn't do it when I connect to it from my desktop computer on the same network.

TIA for the help.

Mitch
