    224226   vboxwrapper sends a [TrickleApi trickle-up message] whose variety is the filename
    225227   and whose contents is the contents of the file, then deletes the file.
    226  '''vm_disk_controller_model''':: Which disk controller model to emulate.
    227  '''vm_disk_controller_type''':: Which disk controller type to emulate.
     228 '''vm_disk_controller_model''':: Which disk controller model to emulate. As of version xxxx vboxwrapper uses <vm_disk_controller_model>IntelAHCI</vm_disk_controller_model> together with <vm_disk_controller_type>sata</vm_disk_controller_type> as default setting.
     229 '''vm_disk_controller_type''':: Which disk controller type to emulate. As of version xxxx vboxwrapper uses <vm_disk_controller_model>IntelAHCI</vm_disk_controller_model> together with <vm_disk_controller_type>sata</vm_disk_controller_type> as default setting.
    228230 '''multiattach_vdi_file''':: Enables multiattach-mode/differencing vdi images to be used.
    229231   The filename given here becomes the parent image. It is expected to be in the projects directory.
    230232   The filename should have a version number to avoid conflicts when an app version gets updated.
     233 '''vm_graphics_controller_type''':: Which graphics controller type to emulate. For details see [https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#settings-display VirtualBox manual]. Vboxwrapper as of version xxxx uses VBoxVGA as default.
     234 '''vram_size_mb''':: The amount of video memory allocated by the virtual graphics controller, in megabytes. VirtualBox allows it to be between 8 and 128 MB. For Linux VMs using VBoxVGA 16 MB is the recommended minimum. This value is used by default.

     517==== Real Time Clock Setting ====
     518
     519On nearly all modern Non-Windows computer systems the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) is set to UTC and the OS ensures the correct local time is presented to users and processes. Windows traditionally expects the RTC to be set to local time but can be configured to also accept UTC.
     520VirtualBox VMs can either be set to use UTC or local time for their virtual RTC. As of version xxxx vboxwrapper automatically forwards the host setting to the VMs.
