I think its worth googling the USB issue, I managed to get my usb mouse 
working after a bit fiddling. With regard to tweaking, firstly I've never 
been happy generally with doing a OS upgrade, I usually backup my files and 
install afresh, however with regard to VirtualBox, I've found it to be quite 
smart, i.e. if it needs to compile kernel modules it does it automatically.

I have found however recently when I did a kernel upgrade on the guest I 
needed to reinstalled the guest addins.

Dave.
