I have not had time to test v4.1.2 on FreeBSD 8 as a host, but the guest additions work well with WinXP as the host and FreeBSD 8 as the guest. I think v4.1.2 even fixes a bug where the copy-and-paste between host and guest would stop working after running for hours, days or weeks. The copy-and-paste hang would even prevent FreeBSD from shutting down cleanly. Sean -- scf@FreeBSD.org
