Comment 25 for bug 285305

Bryce,

I meant that you cannot use debian/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse.install to install the hal callout, since the package ships it with 644 permissions (in the diff.gz). Thus the .install should only install the FDI, and drop the hal-probe-vmmouse line. debian/rules shuold then do

  install -D -m 755 debian/hal-probe-vmmouse debian/usr/bin/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse/usr/lib/hal/hal-probe-vmmouse

Thanks for improving the changelog to explain the removed parts from vmmouse_abs_valuator_axis.diff.

However, it's still my understanding that we actually need to upgrade to 12.5.2, since with the current version and the hall callout+fdi mouse is just plain broken.

Philip, your new FDI file looks too VMWare specific. I believe vmmouse works just as well in kvm, doesn't it? (Sorry, I didn't respond to that on the hal ML).
