Hi Ben, great to hear this, BIG thanks to you again. Sorry also for the delay with the i915/drm-kms versus agpgart stack on <= gen5 GPU fix. Qt 4 versus 5 and VirtualBox simply kept me busy all of last week, but now that it is mostly completed I can finally continue on the other fronts:
TODO: i915 auf <=gen5: agpgart _erweitern_ compiz Mate plugin-wrapper (qt5) 64bit xhci Sol11 bins I did not create the logo myself, but what I did was to find out how to show it on every boot as splash screen during what would be POST on a real computer. That alone took half a working day. By default the OSE only shows a black splash screen (totally black, only showing the Press F12 message [which is not part of the .bmp file itself]). Also I added the best and only real OpenSolaris distros to it [T.M.] to this logo and saved it in a very specific way so it actually works, rather than quitting the VM 1 sec after startup ;) The other aspects you described are true, but normal. Because it was configured and compiled under the terms of GPL2 as OSE (OpenSourceEdition). However: Technically the Oracle provided guest additions are compatible, and so is also the respective version-matching extension pack from Oracle, at the moment http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.1.6/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.6-110634.vbox-extpack I'm looking forward to more test results, especially USB. For me it doesn't work at the moment, but Oracle's binary package also doesn't work for me. That's still a problematic area which needs extra reviews. Which Hipster rev running which kernel are you using?
