Description
Lost the ability to left-clicking on Debian Lenny guest with MacOsX host, Guest additions upgraded.
I tried to empty my xorg.conf (rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*) and relaunched Guest Additions Install, but left click doesn't work.
A workaround is disabling mouse integration or starting X with a blank xorg.conf.

Sorry, I was deceived by the host mouse pointer, the problem is that I can't move the mouse at all (remains in his initial position, probably bottom-left or bottom-right on the screen, I saw it when right-click kde menu appear).
This is the default debian lenny xorg.conf, modified by the Guest Additions installer:

On Ubuntu Karmic the mouse is working, so it's probably a regression only for old Xorg release.

I'll set up a Lenny guest to investigate. I take it this is a 32bit guest?

Yeah, 32 bits.
I already tried messing with some option in xorg.conf, with any luck.
Thanks.

I will mark this as a duplicate of #5832, as that ticket contains more information.


This is the xorg.conf generated from scratch by Addittions installer:
# VirtualBox generated configuration file # based on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Left click works, but because Seamless mode isn't started (cannot get out of screen with pointer)
