Virtualbox extension pack
What's about virtualbox extension pack? I see this option on Vbox but none extpack on ports. Downloading and trying to install extension pack from official site (All platforms) refuses to install it. Any way to port extension pack?
Code:
uname -a FreeBSD Universe 9.0-RC1 FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 #1: Tue Nov 15 13:00:17 EET 2011 root@Universe:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL amd64

Yes but I try to install Iatkos L1 on virtualbox and because thereis no guest additions for hackintosh, somewhere I read that needs extension pack. Also I can use the USB2 option on Virtualbox preferences.

sk8hard, well you might have me there.
The wiki call for items in the "extension pack" that are present in the additions, such as the WDDM driver, so it appeared to just be how things were named, though I just went to the USB support settings in my VirtualBox and 2.0 was also unchecked, and calls for an "extension pack" to be installed.

The extensions pack is not supported on FreeBSD. It is a proprietary add-on and is needed for the host to support a few things, such as remote desktop. The vbox OSE version in the FreeBSD ports tree does support VNC instead. The extension pack is needed for USB support on other operating systems, but on FreeBSD, USB works if you simply follow these directions: http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox#USB_support
I do not know if that includes USB2, however. If the WDDM driver does, in fact, require not only guest additions in the guest and the extension pack installed in the host, it will certainly not work with a FreeBSD host. The older direct3d driver does work (at least for me) in an XP guest on a FreeBSD host, however. Adam

Isn't my thread, but appreciate the clarification, Adam.
The WDDM driver is working in the newer 4.1 guest additions, that's where the wording had me confused. Fixed the Wiki while I was at it.

Ok. Just tomorrow I will put 16G DDR3 RAM on my tower. I will setup a lot of virtual machines on my VirtualBox and their hdd's will be on NAS
 I will use FreeBSD as host, to serve virtual machines Just I want to make guest Oses to properly work. And the first step is to make my VirtualBox work without errors or problems

sk8hard, while you're at it, send 16Gb of DDR2 this way, and I'll do the same.
 Had been actually debating on the jump to 64 myself sometime soon as more RAM would be nice.Kinda getting offtopic here, I apologize, but I love virtualization in FreeBSD, it would be nice to have VirtualBox running as a host with vga passthrough on a secondary card someday. Xen seems to be working, or closer, on other systems though.

16G DDR2 not costing so much. You can do the same
My 16G DDR3 RAMS costs 100 euro FreeBSD/Xen?
