DSL won't detect mouse after a few seconds in virtual box

[mythic97]

As i said Damn small Linux (VM) will not pick up the mouse after being used for like 5 seconds please help

Does it ever pick up the mouse after those 5 seconds? I don't know DSL very well, but do they have VirtualBox Additions in their repositories?

Try a different distro---DSL uses an incredibly outdated 2.4 kernel and is not on the list of supported VirtualBox guests: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes

Have you tried Ubuntu? That is the distribution you will probably get the most help with here on these forums. You'll have to provide more hardware & software details if you want any meaningful help, though. I looked at your Fedora thread and there weren't any details, that's probably why nobody was able to assist you.
