From 9a1507f2531b2a0afed51e8f171369a54f8e50bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Noever Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 23:43:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] vmware-guest: fix vmmouse driver Fix automatic mouse grabbing/releasing when running as a vmware guest. 1. The xf86inputvmmouse is not loaded by default. Add it. 2. InptutDevice sections for which specify a driver are ignored if AutoAddDevices is enabled (which it is by default). See [1]. Instead use an InputClass to load the vmmouse driver.
