Mouse arrow stuck -> fixed as of 14 Apr 2011

[Ciro Iriarte]

After installing Guest Additions the mouse arroy doesn't follow move movement. If you click on new location the arrow jumps there, but still doesn't move as you move the mouse.

Host: OpenSUSE 11.3 - x86_64 Guest: SLES11 SP1 - x86_64

Sorry, it should state:

"the mouse arrow (in-screen pointer) doesn't follow mouse movement"

/var/log/messages from Linux Guest

/var/log/Xorg.0.log from Linux guest

Could you please attach all /etc/X11/xorg.* files from the guest? Thanks.

[Ciro Iriarte]

/etc/X11/xorg.conf from guest

Still happens with SLES11-SP1+patches and VBox 4.0.4

Ticket #8640 is a duplicate of this one. Quote:

Host: Windows 7, x64, VBox 4.0.4 (and 4.0.0)

Guest: Linux - SLES 11 SP1 (32+64bit, both KDE and GNOME)

After installing GA on SLES 11 guest, Xorg mouse became unresponsive.

Any news on this one ?

[Michael Thayer]

Just testing the distribution (and a fix) now. The problem seems to be that SLES (and probably SLED too) 11 SP 1 ship X.Org Server 1.6.5, but unlike openSUSE with the same version they still do not enable input device autodetection.

I hope that this Additions test build (see here) will fix this:

1. Yes, thanks, mouse problem fixed.

2. Detected Regression: "Guest Control Execute" now fails. Worked with 4.0.4.

VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol execute "SLES 11 32-bit" "/bin/uname" --arguments "-a" --username root --password 123456 --wait-for stdout

3. Found new problem: 3D Acceleration doesn't installs. (it still shows Mesa Software Rasterizer)

Should I open new bugs for 2 & 3 ?

[Michael Thayer]

Please do. Thanks for testing.
