Mouse integration on windows host and linux client

Post by myname »

Hello all,

I am running Vista, and install VB 1.5.6. I then created 3 virtual machines, each identical in size, memory, etc.

VM1: Installed Fedora Core 8
VM2: Installed Ubuntu
VM3: Installed openSUSE

All 3 machines had the VBOXAdditions installed to improve the graphics, and implement seamless mouse integration(no need to press the host key Right CTRL).

However, the only VM this works on is Fedora Core 8. All other VM's, I have to click inside the window to get the mouse control in the window, and have to hit Right CTRL to "uncapture" the mouse.

Is there a way to get this to work with VM2 and VM3? How does this work on a Linux Host with Linux Guests?

I have exactly the same problem with openSUSE 10.3 installed as guest on Windows XP host. I use VirtualBox 1.5.6.
