I had the same /dev/sysmouse complaint, and then I adjusted my
configuration (based on someone else's config), and all was
happy happy.
I have a laptop with a ps/2 mouse. My mouse configuration in vmware is:
type ps/2
specify
/dev/sysmouse
My /dev/sysmouse is this:
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 128 Dec 31 05:36 /dev/sysmouse
I don't appear to have any mouse-related deviced in /compat/linux/dev,
and I'm not running moused. My XF86Config has PS/2 and /dev/psm0
for the pointer.
Hope this helps
John
