Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon x64 installed in virtualbox. Mouse driver obviously sporadically reports pointer position (0,0), since sometimes I see this
I checked Linux Mint 14 MATE x64. Everything works fine there with the same configuration of the virtual machine.
even if the mouse cursor is in the middle of the screen. Clean installation, changing virtualbox guest drivers, nothing helps. I can reassign the hotspot for changing workspaces to another corner of course, but it doesn't solve the problem. For example, if I select a text with the left button held down, the cursor frequently dashes to the upper left corner, scrolling up and selecting helluva of text I don't need.Mouse cursor sporadically jumping to (0,0) position

I tried an experiment. I installed MATE version, then made "apt-get install cinnamon". I logged in into Cinnamon session and observed the aforementioned problem. I rebooted and logged in into MATE session, there is no problem. There is something wrong in Cinnamon.

It seems like an X.Org bug. The workaround is:

Re: Mouse cursor sporadically jumping to (0,0) position
The workaround above works, but my xserver-xorg-core is already at 2:1.13.0 and I'm still having the problem. I don't think the bug's been fixed in this version.honzee wrote:Hi,

Well, in my case (Mint 14 x64 Cinnamon in newest VirtualBox on Win7 x64) it 100% helped, no more problems...
