Great, thanks! Basically the simple things, like resizing, switching to seamless or full-screen mode and back (and between), and to virtual terminals on those guests that support them (including from full-screen/seamless and things). Shared clipboard and drag and drop support should not be affected at all as nothing was changed there. And the best would be if you could use the new Additions for general work (they should be stable enough, they are what will be in the next release, bar something really unexpected) and just watch out for anything off that you might notice. > Are there different things to look at on linux (debian) guests > compared to what to look at on an openindian (hipster) (Offshoot of > solaris-11.2) guests? Not really, I think all code which was changed is shared between the two. > Sorry about the lamer request for coaching but reading diffs and such > always seems so confusing to me. On the contrary, I am all to glad to explain and grateful for the effort! Regards, Michael -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
