This is again a call for testers to get some feedback before we commit VirtualBox 4.2 to the portstree. If you already run VirtualBox 4.2.0 you should definitely update to 4.2.4 because they fixed quite a few serious bugs upstream. Our plan is still to commit 4.2 to the portstree as soon as FreeBSD 9.1 is out the door. If you are interested in helping with virtualbox maintenance and development or have noticed a bug you can easily find us on IRC. Please update devel/kBuild-devel before updating any of the virtualbox ports and ensure that your Kernel sources match your running kernel before building the virtualbox-ose-kmod port.

I've hit one annoying issue. I've been running the 4.2.0 Call for Testing for a while now, and it worked very well. After updating to 4.2.4 and updating the guest additions on several Linux guests, I've found that 3D acceleration is broken. The guest on which I didn't update the guest additions (so it's still running version 4.2.0 guest additions), 3D acceleration works great. This is a nuisance on systems which had some form of compositing enabled (e.g. compiz) because the login process (GDM in this case) just spins indefinitely waiting on (I presume) the window manager to fire up. Anyone else seeing this? Hm haven't checked that recently. The only thing that changed between 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 from FreeBSD side was that we have enabled DRM in the additions for FreeBSD guests but that should not affect Linux guests at all. I will check if I can reproduce that. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/ ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

With a FreeBSD host and XP guest, the guest exits instantly when Devices/Install Guest Additions/Yes is chosen. But the downloadable guest additions from virtualbox.org aren't ISO format any more. This is VirtualBox 4.1.22 on amd64. Manually downloading the guest additions ISO and mounting it worked. Odd, though. Best way is to enable Guest Additions option in emulators/virtualbox-ose which downloads the ISO and installs it on your host. Then you should be able to use that menu option. If it crashes the guest then I'd like to have the VBox.log which should give a hint why and where it crashed. That worked fine.___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
VirtualBox and USB
Hello, what is the current status of USB support under VirtualBox? I'm trying to attach a dongle in VirtualBox 4.1.22 on FreeBSD 9 host. It can be seen in the guest, but it doesn't work. I've tried the sysctl hw.usb.ehci.no_hs=1 trick, but it made no difference. Does it matter to have USB drivers compiled in the kernel?
