How do you configure the mouse in Dragonfly BSD installed as VirtualBox Guest?
- Host: Ubuntu 17.10 running VirtualBox 5.1.30
- Guest: Dragonfly BSD version 5.0.2
I configured the VirtualBox VM for DrangonFly as follows.
- General\Name: DragonFlyBSD
- General\Operating System: FreeBSD (64-bit)
- System\Base Memory: 1024 MB
- System\Processors: 2
- System\Pointing Device: PS/2 Mouse
- Display\Video Memory: 32 MB
- Display\Acceleration: 3D
- Audio\Host Driver: ALSA Audio Driver
- Audio\Controller: Intel HD Audio
- USB\Enable USB Controller: Checked
- USB\USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller: Checked
When I created my user account I set the "other group memberships" field to wheel, video.
I installed xorg as follows, following the instructions found on the DragonFly BSD X page.
pkg install xorg
When I run startx, the mouse cursor is visible but no matter what I do, the mouse cursor does not move.
Running Xorg -configure made no difference .
I cannot find any information on how to install VirtualBox OSE Additions on DragonFly BSD.
The following command yields no results.
pkg search virtualbox-ose-additions
Does anyone have information on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
I left out a step. When I added the following line to /etc/rc.conf, the mouse started working.
