Description (last modified by )
I have tested this with the official 1.5.0 build (VirtualBox_1.5.0_Linux_amd64.run) and a build from today (http://virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-2007-10-11-12-32-37-lin64-rel.run), with their respective guest additions.
My setup:
- Dual-boot Gentoo linux amd64/Windows XP 32-bit system
- All partitions are primary
- Windows XP has 2 hardware profiles, one for virtualbox, one for the native hardware, which are used for their respective tasks.
- Guest additions is installed on winxp/virtualbox hardware profile.
- I am using the raw host hard disk support to boot the winxp partition directly from the VM.
This setup works perfectly until I install the Logitech mouse driver software, "SetPoint", when running Windows XP natively (and after a reboot). After that, whenever I run winxp in virtualbox, the mouse shows the following behavior:
- With mouse integration (from guest additions) enabled, if the pointer is moved, both mouse buttons are clicked rapidly and uncontrollably.
- With mouse integration disabled, after the mouse pointer is captured, it appears to be "stuck" on the left side of the screen and both mouse buttons are clicked as before.
I have failed to correct this problem by uninstalling SetPoint or guest additions. The only way is to bring the mouse pointer back to a normal state in the VM is to re-install Windows.
I have found few reports of this, except maybe the "mouse pointer stuck in left corners of the screen" kind of deal, except this:
