[9638ed8b] | 34 | The <application>Xorg VMMouse Driver</application> package contains the
|
---|
| 35 | VMMouse input driver for the Xorg X server. The VMMouse driver enables
|
---|
| 36 | support for the special VMMouse protocol that is provided by VMware
|
---|
| 37 | virtual machines to give absolute pointer positioning. It can be used
|
---|
| 38 | with <application>Qemu</application>, too.

|

| 42 | <para>
|
---|
| 43 | Starting with version 4.1, the linux kernel supports the VMMouse protocol
|
---|
| 44 | so that this driver is not needed anymore. Furthermore, kernel support
|
---|
| 45 | conflicts with earlier versions of this driver (before 13.1), so it is
|
---|
| 46 | advisable to either remove this driver if you plan to always use kernels
|
---|
| 47 | with versions greater or equal to 4.1, or update this driver to 13.1
|
---|
| 48 | or above if you want to be able to use both old and recent kernels.
