[Vbox 2.2]Mouse is unusable in OpenGL games on Win Guest

Hi Vbox devs/users,

Thanks a for a wonderful product. Now OpenGL games can be launched great in WinXP guests.

How ever I tried playing counter strike 1.6 under Vbox.
It loads perfectly, graphics look smooth but mouse usage is not good.
It is super duper sensitive.

I cannot hold it to move forward, it will just stop looking at sky or looking at floors , kind of stops only at edges.

How can I fix this?

Host OS - Ubuntu 8.10
Guest OS - Win XP SP2
Vbox - PUE 2.2 version
mouse - tried both with ps2 mouse and a USB mouse

OTOH, can I export a USB mouse to WinXP guest a USB device?>
How can I do it? Because last time i tried, guest still does not shows any USB mouse connected :(

Many thanks,
--Pradeep

Disable mouse pointer integration while playing, else you'd end up with mouse leaving game window.

Thanks a ton for the help.

As a tip for starters, you can use Host+I to enable/disable the mouse integration in games and it will run just fine.
