But that's been several years ago that I used VMWare, and I could be horribly misremembering.
I also vaguely recall that VMWare creates "virtual hardware", so that even if you have a 3COM NIC in reality, it is presented in VMWare as some other brand/model. Perhaps this is happening with your mouse / mouseport within VMWare? You can try "cat /dev/psaux" or "cat /dev/input/mice", etc, from within a terminal in Debian Unstable inside VMWare; move the mouse; if you see garbage on the screen, you now know which device file to use in your xorg.conf file. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
