What is everyone's preferred virtual hardware, or is that additions support re-packaged now? Because at the time, it was basically acknowledged as un-maintained, won't fix upstream vendor sucks type problems. I heard that most people are using real hardware with no virtualization. The main features I would want from the VirtualBox guest modules are a) to be maintained by a package management team, and b) mouse and display support with dynamic screen portal dimensions tracking. 3D acceleration would be nice but I don't know if that's breaking new ground; I haven't read the forum thread lately, and I don't recall the exact level of progress that was previously reached. I got the impression that it was mostly done, when they came along and broke it off upstream. It would be nice to find a summary page or current burn-down chart somewhere off-list. -- Kingdon
