[haiku] Re: VMW tools as (optional) package

I have used it in zeta for a long time and both works realy well. I do
think that there can be a problem running it out side vmware as it can make the mouse to not respond on input. Test need to be done :) but I must 
say it was/are awesome to use these tools :)
I tested vmw_mouse on Haiku running under VMWare Fusion (the Mac version), but it is not very usable, because the Haiku cursor does not get synchronized with the Mac cursor. For instance, if the Haiku cursor is at the centre of the VM screen and I enter the VM window from the top left corner, the Haiku cursor will stay in place and will not "jump" to the corner. And after this moving the cursor up a little bit will take me out of the VM (since the Mac OS cursor was still on the top of the window). Very frustrating :-/ And even if I try to put the two cursors at the same place, they get desynchronized very quickly since cursor acceleration parameters are not the same in Haiku and Mac OS. I don't know if it is related to Haiku, Fusion or wmv_mouse (I don't have Zeta to test). On the other hand, the vmw_server seems to run fine. I am able to copy/ paste text between Haiku and Mac OS without any problems.
