The mouse works fine if you disable that feature (either the absolute
pointing device or the mouse pointer integration) in VirtualBox,
That feature wasn't documented very well even in VirtualBox's own VM
Settings dialog it isn't completely clear what it does I discovered this by
experimenting with it.

I guess the issues stem from the LFS LiveCD being outdated, if it will be
updated I guess the issues will disappear.
