I tested the new vboxvideo_drv.so on a newly spinned VM from
yesterday, it seems to be working well enough. The only change I had
to do in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - compared to xorg.conf.new generated by
'Xorg -configure' - was to replace the mouse driver with 'ws'. The
mouse is fuctional this way, but with [c]twm it for some reason does
not activate the menus - it can move, iconise and de-iconsie windows,
but the windows do not appear. If I install xfce4 though, the menus
work fine.

To get the window resizing I had to install my compiled version of
VirtualBox guest utilities; it works, but resizing is a bit, shall I
say, reluctant - works sometimes, usually when expanding, when
shrinking the window it doesn't or there is a delay. My guest
utilities are built from trunk, so everything is possible.

Later.
