hi, my phpvirtualbox works, except that I can only see screenshot of the gu=
ests, while the "Console" tab on the top is greyed.=A0 This page http://cod=
e.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/source/browse/wiki/Installation.wiki?r=3D210 s=
aid:

"In order to access a VM's console over RDP (via phpVirtualBox's console ta=
b, or other RDP client) you must install the *Oracle VM VirtualBox Extensio=
n Pack* from: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads"

However, although VirtualBox Extension Pack can be installed, "VBoxManage l=
ist extpacks" outputs the following:

VRDE Module:=A0 VBoxVRDP
Usable:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 false
Why unusable: Failed to locate the main module ('VBoxPuelMain')

So does that mean, phpvirtualbox on freebsd does NOT have Console feature?=
=A0 Without remote console phpvirtualbox would be useless!=A0 Or did I miss=
 anything?

Another option to have remote console is just to use the virtualbox's built=
in VNC support.=A0 But I want to have no X installed on the host.=A0 Does t=
hat VNC work with no X installed on the host?
