-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, I am. I was running 1.5.6, and now am trying out 1.6.0. I posted about this problem in ticket 812, but they haven't done anything there since 1.5.4. If more people add onto that ticket, maybe they'll finally start paying attention, and will do something about it. http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/812 What I've found seems to work, is to first activate uart1, but don't set uartmode1. Once you activate uart1, then set uartmode1 to point at the physical serial port. Failing that, I've been able to mouse around in the gui, and successfully set it that way after a couple of tries. As a side note, they now claim to be sec508 compliant as of 1.6.0, in terms of gui accessibility. While they've made progress in identifying some of the controls, and allowing you to tab within the gui, and read the items in the menu bar, I've found that wineyes says custom control on a number of things still, and on some controls, I need to tab off a control, and tab onto it again, to hear what it is,, this is true for the controls where I don't hear custom control no matter what. I plan to be commenting on this in ticket 629, another ticket it would be good to have more people add to: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/629 As a side note, I'm finding I'm having weird keyboard issues in 1.6.0, which I didn't have in 1.5.6. My machine has been having slight hardware issues lately, so this may not be a virtualbox problem. That's a topic for the vbox-users list though.
