Running gentoo in VMware fusion on intel mac pro. Works rather well except when hald is added to default runlevel there's conflict with vmmouse driver. The mouse behavior is very erratic. Cursor moves smoothly but the area on which it is active has little relation to it's actual position and trying to get into failsafe terminal becomes a funny guess game. With driver mouse set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead everything works fine but the integration into OS X suffers a lot because the mouse stays locked into the gentoo virtual machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install gentoo in vmware 2.set mouse driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as vmmmouse 3.add hald to default runlevel Actual Results: weird mouse behavior - the position of graphical representation of the cursor doesn't reflect it's actual position Expected Results: work normally ;)
Does this work for you? "Found a work-around: add 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "no"' to xorg.conf ServerLayout section. This prevents "Macintosh mouse button emulation" and ImPS/2 from loading (presumably from hal), and hence evdev is not loaded either. vmmouse then works OK when specified in xorg.conf." http://webui.sourcelabs.com/fedora/issues/434807

When I start hald manually after boot everything's fine and also when I have it in runlevel and stop it manually it won't help.

(In reply to comment #1) Works! Thank you. Excuse me for not reading properly - wasn't entirely as focused as I should have been. Thanks very much.
