MBR/bsdlabel is a partition format wrapped in a partition format wrapped in confusion. Most of the time, GPT can be used now, and it is much simpler. One partition table, up to 128 partitions with the standard configuration, essentially no limit on sizes. ___ 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
Re: virtualbox-ose-additions-4.3.0: video and mouse works, but no button events
El día Tuesday, August 05, 2014 a las 09:01:28PM +0200, Matthias Apitz escribió: - Xorg uses 'vboxvideo' driver and resizing or fullscreen works fine - Xorg uses 'vboxmouse' with the following section in xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver vboxmouse EndSection the mouse moves fine and can cross the border of the VM to Ubuntu-land but no button click is seen; I've checked this with xev: the moves of the mouse pointer are fine, but no click is seen by the xev The same problem is with virtualbox-ose-additions 4.3.0 After a lot of tests I have some progress on this issue: If HAL is started, the mouse clicks are working in the guest system. Our Wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox/) gives this as an option for HAL users (which I was not until now) and gives an example for some file to be placed into /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/90-vboxguest.fdi; I did this and re-checked that it even works without this file, launching HAL is already enough. What still is not working is cutpaste between the VM and the host. When Xorg+KDE4 comes up there are some VBoxClient-processes visible, one is /usr/local/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard Does this need some configuration? There is no man page for it :-( Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: E-mail: g...@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X- No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_Ribbon_Campaign ___ 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
