Mouse not working on virtual box VM

2010-02-18 Thread mailinglist
I've successfully got X Windows up and running on a Virtual Box VM on FreeBSD 
8, however it isn't detecting my mouse.  Any idea on how I can make that 
happen?  As far as I know, there are no guest addition for virtual box for 
FreeBSD..of course that's assuming that would even help.  It might not.

Mouse for freebsd guest works fine here.  There is a guest additions for a
freebsd guest, see the docs.

You also need to setup the guest as you would a dedicated host if you wanted
the physical host to have mouse support.
