Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.4-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
I have installed virtual-box-ose modules using module assistant.
I created a machine, and installed freedos on it.
When I click in a running window, it tells me it is capturing my mouse,
and the get it back, I should press the host key. The current host key
is listed as right control. However, once it enters capture mode, the
keyboard seems dead in the virtualbox window and there is no response
to the host key. I am using a lenovo thinkpad x61s; xev says
I really have a right control key, and it has keysym Control_R.
This is all under KDE; I have to switch to a text console and kill -HUP
virtualbox to get KDE responding again.
Interestingly, I can use right-control to put the virtualbox into
capture mode. Which from a user perspective is a coma :-)
