Description Martin Pitt 2010-03-05 10:05:50 UTC 
With the udevified X.org server, the vmmouse driver needs an udev rule as well to work OOTB. The hal helper and fdi can go.

I tested this rule in kvm and real iron, and it works well:

$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/69-xorg-vmmouse.rules 
ACTION=="add|change", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="?*", ATTRS{description}=="i8042 AUX port", PROGRAM="/usr/bin/vmmouse_detect", ENV{x11_driver}="vmmouse"

This is a distribution issue. The distribution should distribute those configuration files with the matching package.
e.g. in Fedora we don't use the udev config but the xorg.conf.d instead.
