Thanks great works! Beat and FreeBSD Vbox Team!

I have been trying to test VirtualBox 3.1.2 for FreeBSD
(take 2) in these days. This is my test report.

   Host OS:
     FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT amd64 (Tue Jan  5 08:47:45 JST 2010)

   Gest OS:
     FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 i386 + latest ports (X.org 7.4_2)
     FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 + latest ports (X.org 7.4_2)
     FreeBSD 9-CURRENT amd64 + latest ports (X.org 7.4_2)

   Build result:
    ------------------------------------------
    | Guest OS                     | result  |
    ------------------------------------------
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 i386  | success |
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 | fail(*1)|
    | FreeBSD 9-CURRENT amd64      | success |
    ------------------------------------------

   vboxvideo_drv.so works:
    ------------------------------------------
    | Guest OS                     | result  |
    ------------------------------------------
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 i386  | fine    |
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 |    -    |
    | FreeBSD 9-CURRENT amd64      | fine    |
    ------------------------------------------

   vboxmouse_drv.so works (8.0-RELEASE-p1 i386 (2*)):

    Option "AllowInputEmpty" "off":
    ------------------------------------------------------
    | device | sysmouse |    psm   | sysmouse |    psm   |
    ------------------------------------------------------
    |   ON   |   fine   | not-work |  strange |   fine   |
    | moused |--------------------------------------------
    |   OFF  | not-work |   fine   |  strange | not-work |
    ------------------------------------------------------
    | driver |       mouse         |      vboxmouse      |
    ------------------------------------------------------
       strange: mouse pointer could move but drag works strange.

    Option "AllowInputEmpty" "on" + hald + dbus:
    ------------------------------------------------------
    | device | sysmouse |    psm   | sysmouse |    psm   |
    ------------------------------------------------------
    |   ON   | not-work | not-work | not-work | not-work |
    | moused |--------------------------------------------
    |   OFF  |   fine   |   fine   |  strange | not-work |
    ------------------------------------------------------
    | driver |       mouse         |      vboxmouse      |
    ------------------------------------------------------

   host-guest clipboard works:
    ------------------------------------------
    | Guest OS                     | result  |
    ------------------------------------------
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 i386  | not-work|
    | FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 |    -    |
    | FreeBSD 9-CURRENT amd64      | not-work|
    ------------------------------------------

Conclusion:

     If you want to use X.org and seamless mouse, you should choose
   one of follow settings:

     - "AllowInputEmpty" "off", /dev/sysmouse and moused(8) working
     - "AllowInputEmpty" "on", hald working, dbus working and moused(8) off

Discussion and Issues:
     I cannot get host-guest clipboard share working. Does someone
    get it?

   (2*) 9-CURRENT amd64 looks like the same as 8.0R-p1 i386
