I've hit one annoying issu= e. I've been running the 4.2.0 Call for Testing for a while now, and it worked very well. After updating to 4.2.4 and updating the guest additions on several Linux guests, I've found that 3D acceleration is broken. The guest on which I didn't update the guest additions (so it's still running version 4.2.0 guest additions), 3D acceleration works great. This is a nuisance on systems which had some form of compositing enabled (e.g. compiz) because the login process (GDM in this case) just spins indefinitely waiting on (I presume) the window manager to fire up. Anyone else seeing this? -Brandon
