I have put together a simple program that will test for the presence of the vmmouse device and return 0 if it is present or 1 otherwise.
http://intr.overt.org/misc/vmmouse-detect-1.0.0.tar.bz2 I don't know what the best way to integrate this into the installer and live-cd startup flows is. It might be fine to run it from a script as is, or you might prefer to insert the code directly into some pre- existing program (although the need for a segfault handler will probably make that hard). If you want this code to have some definitive upstream home, I can look into hosting it in xorg git, but right now it's just the tarball on my website. -- installer and livecd should detect vmware mouse device and use the right driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/71167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
