the mouse moves fine and can cross the border of the VM to Ubuntu-land

the mouse pointer are fine, but no click is seen by the xev
 
 The same problem is with virtualbox-ose-additions 4.3.0

After a lot of tests I have some progress on this issue:

If HAL is started, the mouse clicks are working in the guest system. Our
Wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox/) gives this as an option for
HAL users (which I was not until now) and gives an example for some file
to be placed into /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/90-vboxguest.fdi;
I did this and re-checked that it even works without this file,
launching HAL is already enough.

What still is not working is cutpaste between the VM and the host.
When Xorg+KDE4 comes up there are some VBoxClient-processes visible, one is

/usr/local/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard

Does this need some configuration? There is no man page for it :-(

Thanks

 Hello,
 
 I have a FreeBSD 10-CURRENT as guest in a virtual box running on Ubuntu
 14.04.1.
 
 The port virtualbox-ose-additions  (4.2.18) installed fine and with it
 the following is working fine:
 
 - Xorg uses 'vboxvideo' driver and resizing or fullscreen works fine
 - Xorg uses 'vboxmouse' with the following section in xorg.conf:
 
   Section InputDevice
 Identifier  Mouse0
 Driver  vboxmouse
   EndSection
 
   the mouse moves fine and can cross the border of the VM to Ubuntu-land
   but no button click is seen; I've checked this with xev: the moves of
   the mouse pointer are fine, but no click is seen by the xev

The same problem is with virtualbox-ose-additions 4.3.0
