You should change mouse type in the VMware mouse configuration panel from
auto, to ps/2. I think that in the FreeBSD related docs has something about
that issue.

It's because Linux VMware doesn't know nothing about sysmouse mouse type, so
it's complained about that.

Subject:   sysmouse type of mouse not supported?

Hello, it's the VMware newbie again.

I've downloaded tons of docs from the vmware site and RTFM'ed as much as
possible. This time through it's going a bit more smoothly configuring win98
as
the guest OS.

However, right as I go into VMware I get a dialog box that says:

 unsupported host mouse type "sysmouse"
 unable to open mouse device for full-screen VGA.
 Full-screen VGA will not be supported.

I've seen VMware go into full-screen mode--the very first time I fired it up
after a clean install of the latest port. Does this ring any bells with
anybody?

I am -NOT- running moused on this machine because I have a logitech
MouseMan+
mouse with a "wheel." moused severly screws with the wheel so I don't run it
and use a "raw" configuration in X:

   Section "Pointer"
      Protocol        "Auto"
      Device          "/dev/psm0"
      Buttons 5
      ZAxisMapping 4 5
   EndSection

Could this be the problem?
