   Hi,

  I tried starting vbox with current with VBoxSDL --startvm win (win
is the id I gave to the virtual machine).  With that, a black window
appears, but the "Press F12 ..." messages doesn't appear. I checked
with top, and vbox is doing nothing.

 With the same machine (Dell D630) and using 7.2-RELEASE (with nvidia
driver loader, sound, etc ...) , it works (and it is pretty fast,
don't know how could I live with qemu).

  So that makes me think either it is a problem with some config file
(/boot/loader.conf, /etc/syslog.conf, for tunning purposes) or maybe
my version of current. For /boot/loader.conf and /etc/syslog.conf, I
removed the changes I made related to kern.maxdsiz and others, left
kern.hz=100, removed kqemu and aio. I only have usb, ehci and friends,
linux, nvidia and other hardware modules that shouldn't be the source
of the problem.

   Can anyone with current and vbox working tolds us when you guys
updated your sources ? Anyone has an idea what to check, hack ?

   Regards and thanks,

   Gusi
