First, virtual USB device like the "absolute pointing device" are not part of this list. Therefore if you enabled the "absolute pointing device" and this device is used by the guest, then you will observe this blinking LED. Furthermore, a blinking LED does not necessarily mean that data is exchanged with the host but it might also mean that the guest is trying to initiate such a transfer. But I guess your blinking LED is probably the result of the activity of the "absolute pointing device". Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
