- - Get an error that it can't download ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/VirtualBox-4.1.22.tar.bz2
- - Sure enough, that file doesn't exist, but that directory does have version 4.1.20, with a date of 8/24/2012, so hopefully the new version will be uploaded soon.
- - I have asked the FreeBSD VirtualBox folks on IRC when it's expected or how is best to proceed. Idly awaiting their reply.
- - Here's the error in case you're curious.

+ - The first time I ran this I got a missing dependency error because there had been a minor version update recently. The dependency error was fixed a few hours later. Right after that, the official version of 4.2 was released. To see the original error error, see the edit from 01:48:39 09/13/12.

+ - Wait for a little while until it successfully finishes.
+ - Restart virtual machine. (This probably wasn't needed yet.)
+ - Screen resolution increased, but no mouse integration nor copy and paste. Host is Debian Squeeze.
+ - ee /etc/rc.conf (as root)
+ - Add the following lines
- Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions.
- root@ghostbsd:/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions #
+ vboxguest_enable="YES"
+ vboxservice_enable="YES"
+ - The notes at the URL above mention adding lines to xorg.conf for mouse integration, but I didn't see an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 or in /etc so I skipped this step for now.
+ - The notes also mentioned creating a file for HAL users or copying it, but I didn't see a file at /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/90-vboxguest.fdi so I am skipping this step for the moment.
+ - Restart.
+ - I just noticed that the lines had already been added to /etc/rc.conf, so I removed the extra ones that I had added.
+ - Changed to terminal without X server. Host+F2 in VirtualBox, Ctrl-Alt-F2 on hardware.
+ - Log in as root.
+ - The following didn't work.
+ - killall -9 gdm gdm-binary Xorg
+ - Xorg -configure
+ - Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new
+ - X started with black screen, no mouse.
+ - I've run out of time to look into this at the moment. I'll return to it later.
