Hi group, I have to evaluate VMWare for work, and I'm trying to get it to work on my laptop running Debian sid. So the host OS is sid. I had to evaluate a DVD containing a slackware distribution, and my mouse won't move. I created a new virtual machine and tried running Knoppix 3.4 from it, same problem.
The guest OS is detecting a mouse at /dev/psaux, PS/2 protocol but in X, it won't move the cursor. Clicking the mouse _does_ work, but moving it doesn't. Doing a `cat /dev/psaux' outputs nothing when I move the mouse. I tried everything I could think of: changing the vmware mouse settings, doing a `chmod a+rw' on /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice on the host OS. No results so far. However, at one time, the mouse _did_ work in fullscreen mode and after that, it worked in windowed mode too, but I couldn't reproduce that. The only warning vmware gave me was that while compiling modules, the kernel was compiled with 3.3.3 and the modules compiled with 3.3.4. I have no idea if this is significant. I have a touchpad at /dev/psaux and a usb mouse (hid modules) at /dev/input/mice. VMWare is 4.5.2, build 8848. Has anyone got vmware working on sid? This is frustrating, thanks for any advice or comments, David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
