|
---|
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.

41 | <note>
|
---|
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.
