Description
Hi there,
I am using VBox 5.1.8 for Windows (also tried test build 5.1.9) but am unable to get the mouse to work on RHEL 7. The cursor is apparently there but its just not showing. When I press left ctrl key and move mouse around the "show location of pointer" gets highlighted as I move in different areas. My machine config -
HP Pavillion Laptop / Windows 10 (Home 64bit) / Intel i7-6700HQ / GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 530 & Nividia GeForce GTX 960M)
I will be upfront and open, I am very new to VBox and Linux but nonetheless, I have been reading into forums and bug tickets for the past 3 days but to no avail.
Will appreciate any and all help. Many thanks.

Hi Michael, thanks very much for the clarification. Regards & God bless.
Replying to michael:
If the guest is in text mode then this is expected, as text mode Linux systems do not normally display a mouse cursor unless the gpm tool is installed.
