As the title says, I've been trying to get my Kali image, which runs in virtualbox, running on my two separate monitors.
I've tried a number of things - I (believe) that I have guest additions installed, plus the extension pack.
When I go to displays in Kali, it says that it can't get display information.
Putting it in seamless mode does split my various windows but doesn't let me drag them off the one screen.
xrandr tells me:

and if it's relevant, my host is osx el cap running on a Macbook pro 2015, my two monitors are samsung and ASUS and are connected via thunderbolt/dvi and hdmi respectively.
Please help, I really want to get this working (btw my actual Kali dual boot works totally fine with two plus screens).
Thanks
