Hi! With the advent of the devd-managed Xorg device auto-detection, the automatic ability of loading the "vmmouse" driver instead of the "mouse" driver isn't there anymore. Previously, with the hal-driven detection, a utility called "vmmouse_detect" was run and the HAL suggested xorg driver was set accordingly depending on the result of "vmmouse_detect". So I was planning to restore this functionality somehow and when it's working kindly ask whoever is responsible to automatically install xf86-video-vmware and xf86-input-vmmouse whenever xorg is installed. Unfortunately I have trouble finding documentation that describes how to set the xorg input driver name for a mouse device detected by devd. The input driver name needs to be set based on the return code of the "vmmouse_detect" utility. Any help pointing me to a preferred way of doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Thomas Hellstr=C3=B6m, VMWare
