Hi Philip,
I've tested out your vmmouse detection command and it works perfectly.
I'm attaching a modified dexconf that incorporates use of this tool.
Would you mind testing it out and make sure it works properly under
vmware?
$ sudo ./dexconf -o xorg.conf
I'm wondering whether we should package vmmouse-detect as a standalone
package, or add it to an existing package, such as xorg-
server/hw/xfree86/utils/?
