@alex266,
Have you installed the guest additions (in the guest)?
If you are running the latest VirtualBox and have installed the guest additions do you know for a fact that they are installed properly?
There are some prerequisites that need to be installed in the guest before the additions will in fact install properly.

That'll be where I went wrong then. Guest additions can't have installed properly. Thanks.

Got the packages, restarted.
Tried to install it again:
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules [FAILED]
Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong. Once you have corrected it, you can
run
/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
to build them.
This is /var/log/vboxadd-install.log:
Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop.
Creating user for the Guest Additions.
Creating udev rule for the Guest Additions kernel module.

Then you dont have kernel-source/devel/headers installed. Or false version.

What says "rpm -qa | grep kernel"?
What says "uname -a"?

See it your self.
Kernel and Kdenel-devel are not in the same version.
This is not a VBOX Problem.
You must use your package manager to update all kernel packages so that they have exact the same version.

Looks like this did it, thanks.
yum update

I installed Fedora 10 in VirtualBox 4.0.4 today and the mouse wasn't working. Installing Guest Additions didn't fix the problem. As vondralbra posted, I checked /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ where I had a driver "vmmouse_drv.so". I changed my xorg.conf file from "vboxmouse" to "vmmouse", restarted and it works!
