I have a problem installing my arch linux system on VirtualBox. I had it all working perfectly in VirtualBox 1.6, but since they updated to 2.2, I had problems, especially with the network. I resisted the change as long as I could, but when xorg updated, I needed to update to 2.2.
So, I decided to install from scratch for various reasons. I finally got the network and the additions to work, except the mouse integration. When integration is on, I can move the mouse and highlight the buttons, but when I click, nothing happens. When I try to use the keyboard, nothing happens. I've googled a lot, but everything I've found doesn't seem to help.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions?

P.S. My host system is a mac.

I found a solution. I have no idea how "proper" it is, but it works. I found another forum topic similar to this one, only he had a lot more problems. But I just followed the procedure he outlined almost to the bottom of the discussion.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=558129
The key was the xorg.conf. He said that somehow it became a 4-line file:
Code:
# Default xorg.conf for Xorg 1.5+ without PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH enabled.
#
# This file was created by VirtualBox Additions installer as it
# was unable to find any existing configuration file for X.
Section "Device"
Identifier "VirtualBox Video Card"
Driver "vboxvideo"
EndSection
Then I started it up, and the mouse and keyboard work fine. I wonder why all the settings that I was told to use didn't work...
