Runs fine so far and, after capturing the mouse pointer on black screen, copy/paste works too. Then I installed Gnome 2.32, following all the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#full-gnome. Btw, "pkg_add -r gnome2" did not work.(??) So I had to compile. Then I installed the guest additions, following all the instructions at https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox, chapter "Installing Guest Additions for FreeBSD guests". After the make, I called X -configure and moved a modified copy to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as proposed, and performed all the other things mentioned at that page. Problem: Mouse is not operational in FreeBSD: Gnome disabled and calling X, I get a black screen, the mouse pointer disappears, and I also cannot capture it manually. Gnome enabled, I get a proper gnome login screen after boot, the mouse pointer is there, but does not affect something. Extra attempts (no success / no harm): in /etc/rc.conf: enabling hald, dbus, mouse. in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/ in addition to 90-vboxguest.fdi, adding 10-mouse-sysmouse.fdi from /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor. Remark: no mouse problems with other guests. Attachment: /etc/X11/xorg.conf followed by /etc/rc.conf Any ideas, hints?
