First inside the udev rule "/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xorg-vmmouse.rules" the part "KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", " has to be removed. The rule doesn't match and "ID_INPUT.tags=vmmouse" isn't set. (udevadm info --query=all --path=$(udevadm info --query=path --name /dev/input/mouse0)) The second thing is only a problem if /usr lies on it's own partition. During system statup when the udev rule "69-xorg-vmmouse.rules" is fired, the usr-partionen isn't available and because of that the part "ROGRAM="/usr/bin/vmmouse_detect"" of the udev rule results in false and "ID_INPUT.tags=vmmouse" isn't set. If you trigger the udev-rule after system startup manually by "udevadm trigger $(udevadm info --query=path --name /dev/input/mouse0)" "ID_INPUT.tags=vmmouse" is set and vmmouse_drv.so is loaded during X restart.

Hi! Sorry for the late response. The xf86-input-vmmouse configure script should have a number of options to adapt to distro-specific locations and other stuff. For example, if vmmouse_detect isn't present when it's needed you should install it somewhere else (/bin perhaps?). I think vmmouse_detect is the only executable the package installs sou it should be sufficient to use --bindir=/bin during configuration. The first issue with "KERNEL=="event[0-9]*" is a bit trickier! Why doesn't it work with OpenSuSE? Is there something that works better with this distro?, I could certainly add a configure option to xf86-input-vmmouse to look for something else.

Not sure why "KERNEL=="event[0-9]*" doesn't match on openSUSE. Sebastian, could you provide the output of udevadm info --query=all --path=$(udevadm info --query=path --name /dev/input/mouse0) Hope this helps to investigate that issue. Unfortunately I'm neither an udev expert nor a vmware user. :-( What I've seen is that we have several udev rule files with KERNEL="event*" rules, but only one (/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xorg-vmmouse.rules) with KERNEL="even[0-9]" Maybe that's issue.
