Hello! I run a FreeBSD/i386 guest inside Virtual Box running on Windows 10. PAE-mode is enabled. . virtualbox-ose-additions are installed and configured to load at boot. . My ~/.xinitrc begins with VBoxClient-all. . I do NOT have EFI enabled. . I am NOT using HAL. . VirtualBox is configured to emulate PS/2 mouse -- and psm0 is detected at boot. I have the mouse-integration mostly working in X11 -- the mouse (vboxmouse) moves around and is not "captured". However, the guest sees none of the clicks -- neither the regular ones, nor the double clicks. I can switch focus from one window to another by simply moving the mouse, but I can't invoke any menus nor select a text to clipboard. Searching online I can see plenty of people (and not just FreeBSD users) asking about this problem, but no meaningful answers. Is there a trick to it? Thank you! Yours, -mi
