- Summary changed from Guest Additions video and mouse integration fail to function inside 32ul with a 64bit kernel to Guest Additions kernel modules not bitness clean (32bit userspace on 64bit kernel) -> won't fix for now
This is not something that we will be able to resolve in the near future, as the Guest Additions kernel code is not 32bit/64bit clean, and unfortunately the issue isn't important enough to justify the review of the code that would be needed to fix that just now.
