This package provides the driver for the X11 vmmouse input device.

The VMMouse driver enables support for the special VMMouse protocol that is provided by VMware virtual machines to give absolute pointer positioning.

The vmmouse driver is capable of falling back to the standard "mouse" driver if a VMware virtual machine is not detected. This allows for dual-booting of an operating system from a virtual machine to real hardware without having to edit xorg.conf every time.

This package is built from the X.org xf86-input-vmmouse driver module.
