VB 2.02 works much better than 2.0, at least for amd-64

Hi,

After a kernel upgrade last night (Fedora 9 x86_64 host) VB2.0 stopped 'working'. It never really worked very well for me, and has been widely acknowledged to be a glorified beta release. Anyway. while perusing the forums I noticed version 2.02 is all ready (!) out. So I downloaded that, uninstalled VB2.0 and installed 2.02.

It started up normally, and I was able to create a new machine, attach an existing Mepis 64-bit VDI and boot it. I installed guest additions, edited xorg.conf, and rebooted into full-screen, 1280x1024 resolution. Even the mouse sharing thingy works properly (I previously had to disable it).

Thanks to the VB dev team for so quickly producing a new, working version!

Thanks for the feedback, though we would prefer this on the Discuss 2.0.2 Release. If you want to give any further feedback please do so there. I am locking this topic.
