[SOLVED] xf86-input-vmmouse not working properly

I'm trying to use Arch Linux on VMWare Workstation(Windows8.1 x64).
I installed xf86-input-vmmouse and it doesn't seem to work.
My mouse cursor is stuck in center of the screen.
I tried the solution from VMWare(link below) but it didn't work well.

Does anyone have a solution?

Did you install xf86-input-evdev ?

Yeah, I've installed xf86-input-evdev.
It seems that XOrg fails to load the driver with the permission issue.

echo "needs_root_rights=yes" > /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

By the way, simple command above fixed this problem.

Thanks for all your help!
