RHEL4U5 X86-64 HVM guest has the mouse stuck in the middle

I just created the HVM RHEL4U5 guest and the mouse is always stuck in the middle of the screen. Pressing Ctrl+Alt does not help either. tried restarting the guest and the VM server multiple times but to no avail. My vm.cfg file already has usbdevice = 'tablet'. Also tried mouseconfig. Anyone else has experienced this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you so much. Actually Centos is almost same as RedHat. They just change some images and texts containing RedHat copyrights and replace them with CentOS.
Thank you for your suggestion though. I'll use those templates. However, this mouse problem is kinda known problem I guess. I applied the suggestion in troubleshooting section (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11081_01/doc/doc.21/e10898/troubleshoot.htm#insertedID7) but did not work.
Thanks,
Habib

Why does the mouse 'run' to the lower right side of desktop and freeze when a SmartBoard is plugged into the USB port. Running 10.8.5. Sometimes the pointer has a cloud under it but it always freezes.

I run SmartBoards connected to iMacs running 10.7 and 10.8 throughout my school. On one of these computers the mouse has recently started freezing the minute a SmartBoard is plugged in to the USB port. The mouse 'runs' to the bottom right side of the screen, a cloud often is under the pointer, and it is not longer interactive. You can move the mouse upward a bit with the cloud following some of the time but it does not work. Once the SmartBoard is unplugged the mouse works normally. This particular computer worked fine with the SmartBoard until recenlty. Any solutions or ideas?

How can I make only the shape active for the mouse events, not the whole box around it?

I want to create mouse over events for different parts of an image (say of a hard disk drive), so when the user places their mouse over the spindle, say, it will change colour.
At the moment I have it working however the event is triggered when ever the mouse is in the bounding box of the spindle image. How can I get it to only be triggered when it is above the non transparent part of the image (or symbol)?

Thanks joris182, but that wont work when there are other objects within the bounding box of the transparent symbol. For example, if I want the sclera to highlight, if I use an invisible shape over it, it will be active even if someone has their mouse over the vitreous body.

Charts: how do I determine when the mouse is in the plot area

I'm trying to implement logic that will do the following:
Panning plot within plot display area by clicking and dragging mouse
If the user clicks and drags in the chart plot area (the region where the chart plot actually displays, not including the axes, legends, titles, etc.), I want to be able to provide the effect of panning the plot (e.g. similar to grabbing and dragging a map in Google maps) within the plot display. This makes the most sense, of course, if the user has zoomed in to some level and the entire plot is no longer fully visible within the display.
Zooming on a plot
If the user places the mouse somewhere in the chart plot area and uses their mouse wheel, I want to be able to provide the effect of zooming in and out of the plot. The plot area itself must remain at its original size, just the representation of the plot needs to simulate the effect of being zoomed in or out on.
Thoughts, suggestions, ...
To make the zoom and pan effect, my thought was to adjust the axes bounds as appropriate to simulate these effects. The trick for some of what I'm planning on doing is finding out where the mouse is in the plot area (not the whole chart) so that I can find the x,y offsets from the plot origin (which appears to be in the upper left - at the chart level anyway). For panning, I don't think I care what the offset is, just that it's within the plot. For zooming, I may need to know where the mouse is in the plot so that the zooming could be centered on that location in the plot. This makes me think that it would also be helpful to find out how to translate the mouse x,y pixel position to a corresponding x,y value in the plot data domain.
I've been experimenting with attaching event handlers to detect various mouse actions and what information can be gleaned from these events. So far I have not found anything that allows me to determine the bounds of the plot region in the overall chart. I can get the mouse x,y position, but I don't know where it is in relation to the plot area bounds. I don't want to initiate a pan of a plot if the user happens to drag their mouse somewhere outside the plot area (i.e. over an axis, legend, etc.). Also, it would not make sense to start a zoom on the chart unless the mouse is over the plot.
Please let me know if this seems to be a reasonable approach, and if not, please suggest any ideas for alternatives. Any help, ideas and suggestions regarding how to solve these issues and/or determine this information would be welcome.

I experimented a bit and it seems the plot-content is the Group containing, well, the content of the plot. So in a line chart it's the smallest rectangle containing all the lines and the graphic at the data point (little circles, by default). What you probably need instead is the chart-plot-background.
Here's a quick example of a panning chart. There are probably better ways to manage the mouse dragging (it behaves somewhat badly if you drag out of the plot area and then back in, for example) but it gives you the basic idea. My original idea of adding a mouse directly to the plot area failed as the event doesn't get propagated to the plot region if you click on part of the plot content (a line, for example).

With version 3.6.3 I can no longer do a right click with the mouse and check the properties of a live url link on web pages

Windows XP Pro, SP3. Firefox 3.6.3. Ever since updating to this version a few weeks ago I can no longer do a right click of the mouse and check the properties of an active url link on webpages. I've always had the option before. I want this feature back!!!!

In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.
You can use ''View Image Info'' or ''View Page Info'' in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.
You can use the above mentioned extension (Element Properties 6) to get that context menu item back.

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Using Maverick in two screen setup sometimes the mouse arrow follows the menu bar when I switch screens, and sometimes not. Sometimes the menu bar is on one screen and the mouse is on the other. What am I missing?

Am looking for a simple way to move the mouse arrow to the other screen. Must I go to Apple/System prefs? I assume the mouse arrow and the menu bar should stay together. OK, but how do I access the dock when it is not on the screen with the mouse arrow? Is the Dock unmoveable? What is needed, I guess, is a master screen with mouse, dock and menu bar, and the option to select which screen is master with all those commands available.

You're Welcome...
Another silly suggestion...
Have you done a Restart since you were fiddling around with various settings...?

Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head. Doesn't appear possible in '11. Can it be toggled?
Thanks.
Lindy

No. If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse. The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want. But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off. I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is. It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to. Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something. But I can't find it.
Thanks.

How to place the mouse pointer over the default button automatically ?

I am not content with the mouse capability in Mac OS.

Any suggestion for a mouse app for more settings ? is there a free app ?

You might try SteerMouse 4.1.5 or if all you want is this one feature then try LazyMouse 2.5.

Question
After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

How can flex tell if it's a mouseup event when the user releases the mouse button outside the flex application?

how can flex tell if it's a mouseup event when the user
releases the mouse button outside the flex application? Say for
instance mousedown was done within a 500x500 embedded flex app but
mouseup is outside or relased on the HTML background. One more
thing, when we have something draggable, Flex doesn't execute the
stopDrag() when the user releases the mouse button outside the
embedded swf or fles app. Pls. help me with this. Thanks!

I don't think the flex app can tell what happens outside the
app. But it can detect when it leaves the app, so I have found the
following line works fine inside initApp():
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, yourFunction);
and you have to:
import flash.display.Stage;
