I changed it to type ps/2; chose device as /dev/mouse (this is the same as /dev/sysmouse but seems more sensible since I'm not running moused), and sure enough, it got rid of the requester. Thanks. As for my networking, I reverted to the older port of vmware (the one from the 4.2-RELEASE), and that fixed my problem with not being able to network to the host _at_all_. I'm just going to do this the "old-fashioned way" and set up IP forwarding rules on the host myself. My experimentation with bridging and all that has been a disaster and a *huge* waste of time, so I'll just do the way I did it on Linux. And I gather that nobody's figued out how to turn off /dev/rtc by default? I tried denying non-root users read permission, or granting them write permission, to /compat/linux/dev/rtc, but that didn't stop the 100% CPU problem.
