VirtualBox - disable mouse integration


Hi

Another virtualbox question

I'd like to permanently disable mouse integration in all my VMs. Either all at once or one by one.

Right now it seems I disable mouse integration and it's fine but it's enabled again when the vm is restarted.

Thanks

If you look at your xorg.conf you should see the that the mouse driver is set to VirutalBoxMouse or similar. Remove/replace that and X should use a default driver instead (= no integration).

Thanks for the advice, but I don't seem to have anything with Virtual in xorg.conf, my pointer section looks untouched:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver
#    Option "Resolution"        "256"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
#    Option "BaudRate"  "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"        "150"
# Mouse wheel mapping.  Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 & 5,
# horizontal wheel to buttons 6 & 7.   Change if your mouse has more than
# 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid
# conflicts.
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
#    Option "ChordMiddle"
    Identifier     "Mouse1"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "IMPS/2"  # IntelliMouse PS/2
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
EndSection
