The setup does work basically. That means, I can use the select, copy and paste features from GPM. But it seems, that there is a kind of resolution mismatch with the mouse data. * I am unable so access the whole screen with the mouse. * If I move out of the VM-Window, the GPM cursor stays somewhere inside (see screenshot) * It seems, that something (VBox, VM, GPM, ...? ) does use the initial VGA-mode * There are some weird results, when moving the mouse in and out of the VM-window To be honestly, I don't know if it's an VirtualBox, GRUB2 or GPM Bug (misconfiguration?) but any kind of help is welcome... ==== Current workaround ==== Disable absolute pointing === Setup === * Host * OS Win7-64 * VirtualBox 4.1.22 * Guest * Debian Squeeze (stable) * Bootmanager GRUB2 * VBoxAdditions 4.1.22 (Custom, not from dpkg) * Pure console (no X-Server) * Custom videomode enabled * '''' * Absolute Positioning enabled * '''' * Initial videoresolution set by (in /etc/default/grub): * GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND=vbe * GRUB_GFX_MODE=1280x800 * GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep * Setup works * GPM console mouse service is running * cmdline ''gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t ps2' * works bsically (see Description)" defect closed guest additions VirtualBox 4.1.22 obsolete linux console gpm mouse Linux other
