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