Description:
VirtualBox Guest Additions provide closer integration between host and guest, and improve the performance of guest systems. Non-legacy additions i.e. emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions are recommended for most use cases. Where legacy (5.2.x) is a requirement, this FreeBSD-provided package can be installed in the FreeBSD guest machine. <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-5.2> emphasises that 5.2.x is no longer supported by Oracle. Additions are not intended for use on Host machines.

pkg-message:
For install:
VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed. To enable the required services: # sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES" # sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES" To start the services, restart the system. For features such as window scaling and clipboard sharing, membership of the wheel group is required. With username jerry as an example: # pw groupmod wheel -m jerry The settings dialogue for FreeBSD guests encourages use of the VMSVGA graphics controller. Whilst this might suit installations of FreeBSD without a desktop environment (a common use case), it may be inappropriate where legacy Guest Additions are installed.
