Am I missing something? >=20 i'm not absolutely sure, but i think that the Virtualbox additions is what = you=20 are looking for. When an os is guest in Vbox, you can install the virtualbo= x=20 additions (in the guest) to share the clipboard and integrate the mouse wit= h=20 the host machine. I'm not perfectly sure, but i think that the additions build a kernel modul= e=20 and load it during the boot. So what i get is that the 8.0 kernel has support for that module. (or maybe= i=20 am wrong? if someone knows, correct me) =2D-=20 Real programmers don't document.
