That is possible. I just assumed that my sources.list was correct. Does this look right?
steven@debtop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ squeeze main deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main #Multimedia deb http://debian-multimedia.org/ squeeze main non-free I am not crazy about the non-free, but I needed it for the b43 driver. Broadcomm joined the Linux Foundation and opened up a lot of their newer drivers, but somehow the old ones are still non-free as far as I know(this is an old laptop) and the non-free from multimedia: I need adobe flash for work, because gNash doesn't quite get it done. and w32codecs comes in handy too. --- On Mon, 3/21/11, Scott Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Scott Ferguson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: mouse pointer disappeared after upgrading to 6.0.1 in GNOME To: [email protected] Date: Monday, March 21, 2011, 10:58 PM On 22/03/11 14:12, Steven Sciame wrote: > > > I could try that, but I am a little nervous wandering away from a > "stable" system.

You are several upgrades behind the current, stable virtualbox. Possibly you didn't change your sources.list entry back in November - else you would be running 4.x vb. > > --- On *Mon, 3/21/11, Scott Ferguson > /<[email protected]>/* wrote: > > > From: Scott Ferguson <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: mouse pointer disappeared after upgrading to 6.0.1 in GNOME > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, March 21, 2011, 8:41 PM > > On 22/03/11 12:30, Chen Wei wrote: > > hi Steven, since the VirtualBox 3.2 cannot built its module on 2.6.38 > > source, follow the instruction in "Debian Linux Kernel Handbook", I > > rebuild the 2.6.34.7 kernel.
