More info: - VMware version is 4.5.2 build 8848 with VMware tools installed (disabling or deinstaling them does not cure the problem) Without the tools, it works for me with an X.org trunk build on FC2 from around 20 July in both depth 24 and 16 (my host is in 16). So X.org works fine. Installing the 4.2.x compiled vmmouse_drv from the tools causes the sigsegv. The vmmouse driver is not yet part of X.org or XFree86's tree, but is installed by our tools. This is a VMware tools bug. We (VMware) have fixed this bug internally. For users of released products, a workaround is to change: Driver "vmmouse" to: Driver "mouse" in your xorg.conf.

I have good news and bad news... First the bad news: The workaround doesn't work. And the good news: The workaround works if the VMware guest OS has been restarted... :) |
