sax2: vmmouse configured by default although it doesn't work
Last modified: 2008-07-14 09:13:38 UTC
Created attachment 202819 [details] xorg.conf After a fresh install in VMware from Factory, I can now move in/out of VMware and it automatically grabs focus. Problem is that the mouse in VMware never moves. It always sits in the lower right corner. Even after clicking in the VMware window.
Section "InputDevice" Driver "vmmouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "VMware Pointer" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Please also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

I can't see any warnings/error in the logfile by this driver. So you requested to configure this driver by default in Bug #358460 knowing that it doesn't work at all in the hope that we somehow fix it? Which kind of game are you playing here? Anyway, I'll disable the default in SaX2 again. Still you can select it manually, but of course it won't work for the time being.
Stefan, >So you requested to configure this driver by default in Bug #358460 knowing that >it doesn't work at all in the hope that we somehow fix it? Which kind of game are >you playing here? Huh? I had no idea that the driver would not work. Have a look at Bug #358460 again where you will see that I had it installed, or I would not have been able to give you the information you asked fore. I have never seen this problem before.
I can't see any vmmouse configuration details provided by you in Bug #358460, only for virtualbox. Maybe it worked for you on Mandriva, but you never tested it on openSUSE before. There werent any updates on vmmouse driver since Sat Sep 29 08:45:35 CEST 2007 - sndirsch@suse.de - xf86-input-vmmouse 12.4.3 * updates to reflect the latest input ABI changes * adds an embedded version string in a .modinfo segment (when compiled with gcc) that can be read by the linux kernel 'modinfo' tool. * fixes a global symbol collision with the svga driver Feel free to add a comment if you can get it working on openSUSE 11.0 Alpha/Beta.

In Beta 3 changing the driver name in xorg.conf with vmware works OK.
Correction: driver name is vmmouse.

Marcus enabled vmmouse in SaX2 again for openSUSE 11.1/SLE11. Not sure how this should work this time. The profile has not been changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r1654 | marcus_schaefer | 2008-07-09 11:13:45 +0200 (Mi, 09 Jul 2008) | 5 lines - added vmware-mouse to be applied in Input.map # svn diff -r r1652 Index: Input.map =================================================================== --- Input.map (revision 1652) +++ Input.map (working copy) @@ -26,8 +26,7 @@ 0x0210 : 0x0018 : xen-mouse : evdev 0x03f0 : 0x1126 : hp-mouse : evdev 0x80ee : 0x0100 : vbox-mouse : vboxmouse -# Bug 372189 -#0x15ad : 0x0100 : vmware-mouse +0x15ad : 0x0100 : vmware-mouse # Keyboards # Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 # ---> is profile: microsoft-natural
