Bug#831420: RM: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse -- RoQA; obsolete and conflicts with kernel



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

This is a driver for the VMware virtual mouse device.  We now enable
the Linux kernel driver for this device, so Xorg will support it
through its generic libinput or evdev driver.  Further, the kernel and
Xorg vmmouse drivers cannot be used at the same time so the current
linux-image packages break this package.

Although this package might conceivably be useful on non-Linux kernels,
it is currently only built for Linux so I don't think that's a reason
to keep it.
