No updates while dragging mouse on Puppy Linux

[rbbot]

I'm using a Puppy Linux 5.2 (http://puppylinux.org) guest on Virtual Box 3.2.12-r68302 from a Windows 7 x64 host. I have installed guest additions and did not get any errors during the install script.

If in my xorg.conf, I change Driver "mouse" to Driver "vboxmouse" in the Section "InputDevice" as directed in the instructions and restart X then mouse integration works; however, while dragging the mouse no updates occur until I release the button. e.g. If drag the scrollbar in a web browser the page does not scroll down while I'm moving the mouse, but when I release the button it immediately scrolls to the correct part of the page in one big jump. This has the nasty side effect that it is impossible to move or resize windows with the mouse, as the window manager seems to only react to the missing while-dragging updates and doesn't do anything when you release the button.

If I revert to using Driver "mouse" in xorg.conf then dragging works normally but (as expected) mouse integration with the host doesn't work.

Anyone know how to make this work properly?

Update: I've now tested on Virtual Box 4.0.2 on both a Windows 7 host and a Mac OS-X host, and I still get the same problem.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I'm seeing the same problem on Virtual Box 4.0.8 on Mac OS X host with Puppy Linux 525.

In the xorg.conf InputSection for Mouse0, you have to change /dev/mouse to /dev/vboxguest

I hate to ask but can you post your xorg.conf file for Puppy? I am having a heck of a time getting the guest additions working.
thanks.
