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