If you have installed Ubuntu Intrepid as a virtual machine in your Virtualbox, you will find that the mouse integration does not work, even after you have installed the guest addition.
If you are having this problem, here’s the fix:
First, make sure that the guest addition is already installed inn your Ubuntu Intrepid guest.
Open a terminal, type
gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file. Save and close
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Configured Mouse”
Driver “vboxmouse”
Option “CorePointer”
EndSection
Restart the computer. The mouse integration should work now.

It works! Thanks!!!
Had to reinstall virtualbox after, strange but it works
Thanks for the tip

Aren’t you forgetting something?
Shouldn’t a person backup their xorg.conf file BEFORE making manual changes to it?
Thankfully, I had the good sense to do so before I took your sage advice, because on my next reboot, xorg blew up on me, and I was sitting there, looking at a freaking command prompt!
