DESCRIPTION
vmmouse is an XFree86 input driver for mice. The driver supports most
available mouse types and interfaces. USB mice are only supported on
some OSs, and the level of support for PS/2 mice depends on the OS.
The vmmouse driver functions as a pointer input device, and may be used
as the X server's core pointer. Multiple mice are supported by multi-
ple instances of this driver.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and for
options that can be used with all input drivers. This section only
covers configuration details specific to this driver.
The driver will automatically detect if the vmmouse device is present
and if it is not, it will load the regular mouse driver and attempt to
fall back to it. There are no vmmouse specific options, but if you set
mouse(4) options, they will be passed on.
See the mouse(4) man page for details on these options.
