I am unfamiliar with phpmyvirtualbox. Is that some sort of extension?

phpvirtualbox provides an admin ui interface to virtualbox. At this time I think the issue is with phpvirtualbox. The original issue was special config options that were not set. I was able to resolve the double mouse issue by enabling "tablet" and "USB" The mouse performance is still poor very noticeable lag but it doesn't make me want to totally walk away so I live with it. There is some issue with the browser passing the mouse to the virtualbox application that makes the interface very undesirable to power users.

Why would a power user need such an interface like phpvirtualbox?
