OS X 10.4.11 host; OpenSolaris 0906 guest. Looks good. Thanks. But there's a transitory heart-stopping moment: o Running under 3.0.6, I pkgrm'ed the Guest Additions (is this recommended?) o I shut down the guest. o I installed 3.0.8 (I didn't uninstall 3.0.6; I assume it simply updates.) o I restarted guest. Screen was incredibly sluggish; it took about a minute (well, maybe half, but it felt like hours) for each redraw of the desktop, during which the mouse didn't track. o I re-installed Guest Additions from 3.0.8, waiting as it s-l-o-w-l-y redrew each window in the process. o I restarted guest, and all is well. I experienced the same (mis-)behavior when I installed 3.0.6, and IIRC, also on a Win XP host. Is usage of host CPU slightly higher? But not bad enough to make me want to do multiple re-installs to collect metrics.
