You have to consider the following: If the guest additions are not available, the guest is not able to receive absolute mouse coordinates, only relative mouse coordinates --- at least with the mouse VBox is emulating. Therefore some switch between the host mouse cursor and the guest mouse cursor is needed. This cannot be done with auto-capturing since the state transition cannot be that smooth as needed. The real problem is therefore to emulate a pointing device which supports absolute mouse coordinates. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de
