I'm new to FreeBSD, and have been running Ubuntu for years. Since I pretty much got my computing start using BSD on mainframes in the 70's, I thought I'd try it out in virtualbox.
So I'm running the latest VB (4.1.4) under Ubuntu 11.10 and downloaded FreeBSD 8.2 then loaded Gnome2. After making the required entries into rc.conf and xorg.conf, I was able to resize the VB window and was very happy about that. However I don't get a seamless mouse between the host and guest, meaning that once the mouse is captured in the guest, I have to hit the right ctrl key to escape to the host. Anybody have a solution to that?
The other question I have is if you can run one of the guest additions that are updated with each virtualbox verion as with linux that is sometimes necessary for resizing and mouse integration. I don't know if it'd be solaris or some other version they may have available.
Thanks in advance.
