Mouse capture with Direct3d guest addon

Post by grinchfox »

Hello! I use virtualbox to run some graphical(Direct3D) application with mouse capture.
The problem is that I can't get proper guest-side mouse capture with mouse integration turned on. But if I disable mouse integration, the Direct3D frame draws over the guest mouse cursor.
How do I get guest cursor drawing over Direct3D frame if mouse integration is off or
get mouse capture with mouse integration turned on ?
Guest OS: Windows XP FLP.
Host OS: Archlinux i686.
Host desktop composition is disabled.

If the GAs are not installed than press the host key (default: right ctrl) once to capture the mouse. See section 1.8.2 of the v4.2.12 user manual.

But I have to install GAs to get Direct3D Acceleration, and as I said, guest cursor wont draw over Direct3D frame without mouse integration on (wich is drawing cursor on host side).
How do I get appearence like Mouse Integration is on (drawing cursor on host side) with behavior of regular mouse capture ?
