Present status:
Hardy as host, and I installed Vista Ultimate. I got this install working without being able to use my mouse. It (guest OS) responds to my keyboard, but not to my mouse. When I click it status that my mouse will be turned over to the guest OS, but after that I still see 2 mouses: one from Hardy and a frozen one in the guest.
I installed guest-additions too, hoped this would do the trick...nope!
I installed Vista before with Feisty as host, that worked like a charm, but with Hardy it's not getting me anywhere!...
PS: I tried every piece of advice in this great forum, but nothing helped!.....Is it a known bug, did I miss something?

Did you install the Hardy package? You can find the Hardy version in the repo, and for the binary version, see http://www.virtualbox.org/download

USB not working
by punkybouy » 6. May 2008, 01:47
This is from the 1.5 manual.
11.4.6 USB not working
If USB is not working on your Linux host, make sure that the current user has permission
to access the USB filesystem (usbfs), which VirtualBox relies on to retrieve valid
information about your host’s USB devices.
As usbfs is a virtual filesystem, a chmod on /proc/bus/usb has no effect. The
permissions for usbfs can therefore only be changed by editing the /etc/fstab file.
For example, most Linux distributions have a user group called usb or similar, of
which the current user must be a member. To give all users of that group access to
usbfs, make sure the following line is present:
# 85 is the USB group
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=85,devmode=664 0 0
Replace 85 with the group ID that matches your system (search /etc/group for “usb”
or similar). Alternatively, if you don’t mind the security hole, give all users access to
USB by changing “664” to “666”.
