if you are asking for guest additions the status is same, Xorg driver does not work

BTW, VBox v3.2.12 is out (since about a week). The changelog mentiones one fixed item (i.e. "Linux Additions: properly compile the vboxvideo module if DKMS is not installed") which might play a role, but I would not really know what's wrong with the GA.

OTOH, VBox is now starting with beta1 for v4.0, so I guess in the not too distant future there might be a different challenge (or an improvement) coming up ...

I'm sorry that I did not post this earlier, but as I just reported I've discovered a potential work-around for the failing 'Xorg' when using the VBox additions: Just replace the 'waitforX' in '~/.xsession' with a suitable 'sleep ...' command (e.g. 'sleep 2').

I believe there are still some further issues with the VBox additions, e.g. the mouse integration does not seem to work quite right, but as I'm already on record not to be using the VBox additions on a regular basis I'm unlikely to track this one any further.

OTOH as VBox 4.0 is now out the question really is whether it makes sense to get to the bottom of issues with a now slightly older VBox version (i.e. 3.2.12).

i have vbox 4.0 compiled but there are some issues with it, it is quite unstable
see arch linux virtualbox-ose they moved it to unsupported area after v4.0

i can't even start a virtual pc with v4.0

there is still no click'n'play-install-script for vbox-OSE on TCL 3.x - yeah?! :/

[jls]

virtualbox-ose 4.0.2 is now available in repo

Does it work on 64bit?

Does it work on 64bit?

I should note that Qemu/KVM does work on MC64.

I should note that Qemu/KVM does work on MC64.

But there is still no gui available in the repo.

[jls]

vbox in the repo has usb support, a little buggy, though

[Arslan S.]

i didn't test vbox on 64 bit tc so far but kernel modules must be compiled first

[uggla]

The new version works fine until I start Opera then it wont start any machines until reboot.

hi!

do we have any news on this topic?

btw @ mods/admins: this thread is misplaced: not: "tiny core on virtual machines" - but: "virtual machines ON tiny core"...

to put it in a nutshell:
it would be nice if virtualbox (OSE) could be installed on TCL - because TCL could be some kind of baremetal kickoff-plattform for VMs... due to the fact that TCL is really small and has a small overall footprint including great hardware compatibility...
