[Solved]Gentoo guest mouse integration not working in Window

I installed 32bit Gentoo in Virtualbox on a 32 bit Windows Vista host.
I successfully installed and setup a desktop environment(XFCE), and then installed the guest additions. Full screen and resolution resizing works great.
However, my mouse does not work in the guest. I can move the mouse cursor within the guest, but I can't click or anything. Complicating things is that upon logging into XFCE from XDM, the mouse cursor turns into one of the "I" cursor things as if its hovering over text and I can't get it back.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd post my xorg.conf but that's kind of inconvenient considering I don't have copy paste support...if anyone has an idea to transfer that easily out of the vm, please tell me.

With the GA installed, you should have shared clipboard too. Is the mouse driver listed there too? Tried to look on the Gentoo forums for this issue?

I've already done a search of Gentoo's forums and came up with nothing. The mouse was working perfectly before the guest additions were installed. I see vboxmouse listed under Serial and USB as a keyboard device. Compiling a graphical text editor right now so I can do the copy paste (Vim doesn't integrate with the window manager's clipboard)

I was advised to try uncommenting the SWCursor/HWCursor options, which is why one is commented out. Neither worked, unfortunately.

The problem is that there is no identifier called "configured mouse". They either list
serial mouse,
usb mouse or
touchpad. Clean up your xorg.conf so that only one mouse is left and give it the proper name (or change the reference
).

That fixed it! Thanks so much! Only question is how that stuff got in there in the first place, considering I don't even have a touchpad. Must be weirdness with the distro.
Again, thanks!
