Cursor unresponsive when running Haiku in Virtualbox on a MacBook Pro. Could the trackpad and magic mouse..... (closed)

I recently decided to run Haiku on my new MacBook Pro and I am running it in Virtualbox. The machine boots up nicely but after Virtualbox indicates to me that there is mouse integration between my computer and the running virtual machine, I accept the notification but when I go to continue my mouse is totally unresponsive in the virtual machine. The cursor runs smoothly on my desktop but as soon as I enter the virtual machine, the cursor is not moving. I have tried an Apple Magic mouse; unresponsive, the laptop trackpad; unresponsive. I have guest additions installed as well as usb integration. I run Ubuntu in the same Virtualbox software and the mouse/trackpad works perfectly. Help?

Thanks!

I’ve had similar problems on an iMac. Apple touchpad and mouse design has moved too far beyond industry standards. Borrow an old-fashioned USB optical mouse and see if that solves your problem.

Thanks Michel, I tried the USB optical mouse and it worked. Though somehow I got the trackpad working!!! But now my virtual Haiku hangs at boot. But I’ll post that as another topic. Thanks for your help!
