Problem with xorg-server-1.4-4 and vmmouse driver (under vmware)
Hello,
I updated xorg-server (from 1.2.0-5 to 1.4-4) under an environment that run in vmware, and after that the mouse wasn't working. The cursor was moving, but when I right clicked, it opened the menu in the bottom-right corner, wherever was my cursor.
Therefore, I restored old version of xf86-vmmouse (12.4.1-1 instead of 12.4.3-1), but the mouse wasn't working at all (the cursor wasn't moving, and I couldn't click). I had to also restore the old version of xorg-server (and also all xf86-... drivers) to have it work allright.
Does anybody know if it's a configuration problem (as for synaptic) or if that's a bug of vmmouse driver ?
Regards,
Colin

Same problem here. I regret not having snapshotted the VM before upgrading to the new Xorg. Damn it!

If you didn't run pacman -Scc, it's not a big problem :
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -U xorg-server-$oldversion
pacman -U xf86-...-$oldverson
where xf86-... design all your xorg drivers.

I ran into this today, and it's a known bug:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8570
There is a link to launchpad.net there, with a link to a version of the vmmouse driver that works.
