[opensuse-factory] vmware + 10.2b2 - mouse
Has anyone tried to load 10.2b2 into vmware server? It works except for the mouse. During installation, it moved so fast, it was difficult to use, although not impossible. After a complete restart of kdm + vmware, infinitesimal mouse movements after a second or so result in the pointer moving half a galaxy, making it unusable. Installing vmware tools into the guest made no difference. Googling says "install vmware tools". Does anyone have a solution? Host: AMD64, nvidia module with xorg. Guest: AMD64. Of course, ssh to the virtual machine works...

Yes, this works fine for me - I do nowaday all installation first in VMWare as smoke test. I'm running VMWare Server 1.0.1 on my x86-64 system to test both i386 and x86-64 installs, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Thanks Andreas + Vahis! There must be some difference. I told the guest to use 1024x768 to have some space left for a browser next to the vmware window. Host is 1680x1050. Host mice are 2-button-wheel Logitech and 4-button-wheel M$, both on explorerps/2 protocol. Guest protocol imps/2 or explorerps/2 makes no difference. Pointer in the virtual machine is accelerated smack onto the edge of the virtual screen after 1-2cm of movement, regardless how fast/slow that movement was. :( VMware-server-1.0.1-29996, 10.1 with all updates Needless to say, no such trouble on the host.

Found it. Because the baseline speed of the 4-button mouse on the host is too fast, I tried to reduce it, and tested whether Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Option "Resolution" "10" has any discernible effect - not on the host, but it makes vmware unusable. Thanks for your replies.

I have vmware running 10.2 beta 2 guest on 10.0 host, all 32 bit. No problems with mouse, with or without vmware-tools -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters. Seldom. And usually just once.

I use it without vmware tools without problems in 10.2 Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
