The kernel driver for the VMware mouse device is incompatible with Xorg's vmmouse driver but works with the generic evdev and libinput drivers. xserver-xorg- input-all must not depend on the vmmouse driver. However, the Xorg vmmouse driver will continue to be used in jessie. The custom kernel used in this image should not include the vmmouse driver and should not declare that it breaks xserver-xorg-input- vmmouse. This is what has been done in the jessie-backports kernel package. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings 73.46% of all statistics are made up.
