I am running Android x86 on VirtualBox, and I want the pointer integration enabled, which needs VirtualBox Guest Additions to be installed on the guest OS.
I have searched a lot, but what I have found is that one has to compile Guest Additions with Android-x86 kernel headers. Can anyone please share how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
The VMs provided by Genymotion have theses features integrated (at least for the mouse pointer capture/release which is automagically done).
So I don't have the solution, but it's at least completed on a commercial software providing VirtualBox-compatible images.
Just disable "mouse integration" in Host Machine tab.

Android is not a supported guest OS according to Sasquatch, a moderator at the VirtualBox forums, at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=42240
Android is not a supported Guest OS, so there are no GA. Also, it doesn't meet the requirements for guest addition support: you can't install support packages for the kernel to make kernel modules. At least not that I am aware of.
I haven't tried it myself, but apparently you can just use the "Enable Remote Display" feature on VirtualBox to enable the pointer support according to a post in the android-building group:
If you use the 'rdesktop' command to connect to your Android VirtualBox instance, you can have a working mouse an cursor. First enable the remote display with:
devices -> Enable Remote Display
Then, connect via the rdesktop command
apt-get install rdesktop # ubuntu yum install rdesktop # fedora rdesktop -a 16 localhost:3389
after you enabling the absolute mouse pointer, you should to start your virtual OS and then you click on device > and search for "turn off mouse integration"
