This is ebuild 3 of 4 for the VritualBox Guest Additions ebuild requests. This one depends on Bug #204511. I have created the ebuild, xf86-input-vboxmouse-1.5.4. I propose it go under the category "x11-drivers". This ebuild is for Linux GUESTS running under VirtualBox - this is the mouse driver needed to use the mouse integration.. Thus, Gentoo guests no longer have to run the Guest Extensions ISO. They can now be handles with the usual portage tools, like "emerge". This ebuild has 1 known issue - the tarball already contains the xotrg headers of several versions. xorg-server is RDEPEND, thus, in theory, it might not even be installed yet. Thus we have no idea which version to install. So this version has been limited, via RDEPEND and XORGVERSION, to work on xorg-7.1 (tested against xorg-server-1.3.0.0). May or may not work with xorg-xserver-1.4.0.0. The 1.4 modules included in the tarball DO NOT work with xorg-server-1.3.0.0. To compile against xorg-server-1.4.0.0, jsut change XORGVERSION to 14, and set RDEPEND to >=xorg-server-1.4.0.0. Split into its own ebuild so it can one day be added to INPUT_DEVICES. There's need to be a better solution for the versioning issue, though. Succesfully tested on a Windowa Vista Home Premium host.
