It "stucks" > unusable and only moves every 2-3 sec. when i move it around. About a week ago, the only version of vmware I was able to get to work reliably was vmware2 on FreeBSD 4.10. Today I reinstalled FreeBSD 5.3-B7 and tried to get vmware3 to work. It worked, but I had exactly the same mouse problem you described. I deinstalled vmware3 and tried to install vmware2 on 5.3-B7, and received some error during the 'make install'. The error was "mod_" something and ended with "_ioctl", I think. So now I am reinstalling 4.10, since I know I can make vmware2 work on it. Also, SerenityVirtual's commercial virtual machine runs on 4.10, though I am not sure if it is available or not. If you find the solution to the freezing mouse, please post it, and I will switch back to 5.3 too. thx!
