virtualbox can not start throu putty/xming

[grim]

I have a centos-server and a windows-pc. The server has no display. The pc has xming and putty. The X-tunnel has proven to work for xeyes.

I start virtualbox and expect to have the display forwarden to xming.

This is my output:

grim@obelix:~$ virtualbox

This is not for VirtualBox development team to address. VirtualBox GUI interface is based on Qt and Qt seems to have a xinput 2 requirement. If you want to use Virtual GUI interface you have to use an Xserver which supports Xinput 2.

The free Xming is very very old... the codebase is from 2005. You might (but I have absolutely no knowledge there since I personally never ran Xming) have more luck with the much more modern donor-ware Xming version.

Replying to Klaus Espenlaub:

It's true that this is a pretty old version and I don't have much information.
