I am running a VirtualBox with android-x86 (as a replacement for the ultra-slow AVD emulator). Its a Linux VirtualBox running android 4.0, on a Windows 7 Host. The machine boots up and everything works fine, but if i leave the machine idle for less than 5 min, i can't perform any action - all the menus,buttons,etc are unresponsive although the android clock is changing, and i can go to command (alt + F1) and back to gui (alt + F7). Has anyone came across this phenomenon or has an idea what goes wrong here?
