I have to mention that fact because there is not much option to configure the VBox. After a crash of the base system damaging the FBSD ZFS based guest beyond repair I had to reinstall X11 and have to configure it from memory, because this part is not backup'd. FreeBSD 13.1-p1 and X11 (xdm, windowmaker) is up and running, everything is fine, I got a mouse pointer, the keyboard with German layout is well supported. emulators/virtualbox-ose-guest-additions is installed as instructed in the handbook. The target computer is a Lenovo T590 with a remote/cordless mouse (if this information is of any use). Problem: once clicking the mouse to enter login data on xdm, the mousepointer is caught forever within the guest. Usually the combination "left-Ctrl right-Ctrl" should release the mouse pointer to reach the Vbox. This is not working anymore. Somehow I have the strange feeling that the keyboard setup is missing something so the correct keys are not mapped according the physical layout, but there is no hint what XkbModel/XkbVariant I should use (tried pc105, thinkpad or avoid the Option, with no effect so far). Any ideas? Kind regards O. Hartmann -- O. Hartmann
