Yes... until we want to ship a newer xorg from wheezy-backports, in order to support newer hardware :) When this will happen depends entirely on the Debian X Strike Force time and energy, but I do hope it will happen. Anyway, it's quite easy to get the corresponding custom VirtualBox *host* binary packages, built from the same source. Someone just has to do it. This is merely a time / priorities problem, rather than a serious technical one: I was mentionning the current state in passing, as this knowledge will be needed to anyone who wants to push this further the initial testing that started this thread. > Wheezy has fine packages for Virtual Box (virtualbox) and Guest > Additions (virtualbox-guest-x11). > Would any any custom adjustments still be required?
