Absolute pointing device loses sync on the LFS livecd

VirtualBox absolute pointing device loses sync on the LFS livecd. That is when leaving the guest window back to the host the mouse appears in a different location than its supposed to and also eventually also leaves the guest window early leaving areas of the guest window inaccessible.
The mouse will appear either left or right instead of the correct location once you leave the guest window.
Bug:
#7693

Several Tablet devices exist in market, so if you choose the wrong X11 input driver it will work, but incorrectly.
This seems to be your case.
I am not sure which one is the correct one.

Well this is what the auto-detection selected, it may be due to the LFS LiveCD having an old kernel.
Need to find a workaround... (I want to use the absolute pointing device but synced correctly, it's a very helpful feature)

New kernel is a must; RHEL 6 works by default, while RHEL 5 doesn't, probably due to kernel or Xorg.
