Well, vmmouse is as simple as Columbus's egg. In file
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev, in the Section with `MatchIsPointer
"on"', replace Driver "evdev" with Driver "vmmouse"... There are certainly
better ways (put that section in a separate file (actually, another
possibility is to remove the "MatchTag" line in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse. The good new is that now the mouse
pointer is OK with the vmware driver. And you get absolute pointer positioning.

What Suse do is to use kernel drivers from open-vm-tools
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-vm-tools/files/latest/download). Then
vmmouse_detect exit without error and is detected with an udev rule (so that
the "MatchTag" line matches). All the rules and files are installed with the
vmmouse driver, except that vmmouse_detect exits with an error on BLFS.
