Mouse pointer integration message

Post by DavidA »

Hi

I am running VirtualBox 4.0 on Windows XP (32-bit) and running a Centos 5.5 (32-bit) VM.

When I created the VM I installed the guest additions. I find that keyboard and mouse integration work correctly, except that I get the following message at startup:

"The Virtual Machine reports that the guest OS does not support mouse pointer integration in the current video mode".

Do I need to change the video mode to avoid this message appearing? (I don't want to simply disable the message).

BR

Install the guest additions (in the guest) and if everything works and you still get that message you can simply disable it.
