          <p><userinput>VBoxDRMClient</userinput> can't handle arbitrary guest monitor topologies. Disabling a guest monitor other than the last one invalidates the monitor topology because of limitations in the <codeph>vmwgfx.ko</codeph> Linux kernel module.</p>

          <p>Always remove the last monitor in a the topology. For example, when the guest is configured to have four monitors, avoid disabling the second or third monitor.</p>
