Hi guys,
I installed the Virtualbox jail via the official plugin. It went just fine, the problem is that the sensitivity of the mouse in the console doesn't match up to the mouse on the guest; so moving the mouse, say, one inch in the console window moves it 1.6 inches in the guest. It seems to get worse the further away from the centre of the screen you are, making the bottom quarter or so of the screen inaccessible. You can "change" the calibration point by moving your mouse way off the screen but it's very clumsy and still inaccurate.
This makes installing a guest OS extremely difficult. I tested with Windows 7 and Ubuntu and the same problem occurs with both.
The same problem occurs if I use VNCviewer to access the newly minted machine. I imagine it can be fixed by installing the Guest Addons but installing the OS first is quite difficult without an accurate mouse.
Anyone else encountered this issue?
