Package: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
Version: 1:13.0.99-1
Severity: important

Hi!

With recent X running as non-root, vmmouse stopped working.

I've summarised the exact problems and steps to fix it in a Google+ post:

Long story short: you need to upgrade to at least 13.1.x. At the same
time, the kernel needs to enable CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_VMMOUSE. You might
want to coordinate with the kernel maintainers.

The only diff between 13.0.99 and 13.1.0 is the version number, so
there's nothing to do here.  Also, if CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_VMMOUSE actually
breaks 13.0.0, then we can't enable it in the kernel without breaking
jessie userspace, which is a big no-no.

Cheers,
Julien
