Thank you, these two suggestions got me much further than before. (I can't
believe I haven't seen the HaikuDepot app or used HaikuPorter.)
There is no link to a project page, just a link back to virtualbox website.
This is because there is no project page or documentation of any kind,
right? (This work was mostly completed as a GSoC project, I remember
reading about it).
Mouse integration worked straight away when I set the mouse to a tablet
type. The guest additions package installed without problems after that, I
am able to change screen resolutions through the preferences screen.
Running VBoxTray for the first time seems to enable bidirectional
clipboard and keep the tray module running sticky across reboots.
The dynamic screen resolution setting when you resize the guest window is
the only feature that seems to be missing. Woohoo!
Are there any other features I am missing? GL-Teapot also seems to do
pretty well here, but it does just as well without 3D acceleration enabled,
I'm not sure it's using any hardware. Too bad that 2D acceleration is only
supported for Windows.
