FreeBSD as guest Vbox

[i_attitude]

Hi forum,

I am trying to share clipboard between Vbox Host (Win 7) and guest (FreeBSD).

What I did:

• (Install virtualbox-ose-additions in the FreeBSD guest)
  [cmd=]# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions && make install clean[/cmd]
• (Add this to /etc/rc.conf in the FreeBSD guest)
  

  vboxguest_enable="YES" 
  vboxservice_enable="YES"

• (To use vboxmouse_drv please adjust the mouse section in your xorg.conf like this)
  

  Section "InputDevice"
          Identifier "Mouse0"
          Driver "vboxmouse"
     EndSection

After all this I tried copying a text from the host and paste it in the guest. It did not work out.
I am a newbie to UNIX so any help with proper explanation is appreciated.

Regards

The shared clipboard must be enabled in the guest, either with the Device menu at the top of the screen, in the General/Advanced section of the GUI, or probably somewhere in VBoxManage.

That said, with a FreeBSD host and FreeBSD guest and a bidirectional clipboard, I can't figure out how to do an ordinary X drag-to-copy. It does work from host to guest when selecting text in Firefox and pressing Ctrl-C.
