[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#584566: GUI: Absolute pointing device option requires USB support

[Mike Swanson]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 3.2.0-dfsg-1
Severity: minor


In virtualbox-ose 3.2, there is an option to emulate an absolute pointing
device (a USB tablet).  However, this depends on USB support which is only
available in the non-free virtualbox so this function is a no-op in
virtualbox-ose.  This checkbox should be removed from the GUI.
