Using the default mouse configuration.

Using the first keyboard device.
Could you try the following patch (against xorg-server)? The server
should then use the vmmouse section as its core pointer device instead
of adding a mouse device. If you can quickly confirm that this works,
I'll try to include it in the xserver for lenny.
Cheers,
Julien

Subject: [PATCH] Look for a device using 'vmmouse' if we can't find one with
'mouse'
When looking for the core pointer device, fall back to the 'vmmouse'
driver if no device in xorg.conf uses 'mouse'.

Package: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse Version: 1:12.4.3-1 Severity: normal Hi, I just installed a plain new Debian Sid in a vmware and wanted to change the mouse to vmmouse. But since the new X Server is in Sid, it doesn't take the vmmouse anymore. I'd appreciate any hint, what is wrong here. Additionally, it would be nice, if the vmware as screen driver is detected, to ask if vmmouse want's to be chosen as mouse in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.

Additionally, it would be nice, if the vmware as screen driver is detected, to ask if vmmouse want's to be chosen as mouse in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. It might be even better if the X server could do that for you. Most static config given by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is supposed to go away and be replaced by automatic configuration from the server at startup. If you know a reliable way to find out that the server is running within vmware, it might be good to talk to upstream about it. I guess the vmmouse maintainer would be interested (it seems to be Philip Langdale). Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
