    I don't know how and why but I am not receiving the mouse events of button 4 and 5 in the vm (usually used for history back and forward). It worked already in the past but now it is lost. I checked with xev so I am sure the events are not available. I can see the scrolling and button 1-3.
    Do you have an idea to what this might be related? I already tried to change the mouse protocol in xorg.conf without any change. I also checked and changed the mouse settings in the machine setup but nothing helps.

    Thanks for any recommendation
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,

    If your mouse is connected as USB, please follow the below steps:

    On the Top Mac menu bar select Devices -> USB -> Enable the mouse by selecting it.

    Now try to work with the other buttons as well in the Virtual Machine.

    Hello Abdul,

    thanks for your suggestion. I tested this, but this is not the behaviour I want. Further more the mouse integration got totally broken after I selected USB. The mouse is absolutely caught in the machine and is very buggy. So I had to uncheck this again. Luckily after unchecking the USB support the buttons worked again. So somewhat is happening there.

    Regards
    Thomas
