Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Running the Kubuntu Intrepid Alpha 2 CD, no updates installed. Problems also occurred in previous Ubuntu Intrepid packages. Switching vmmouse in xorg.conf to mouse cures the problem. The host is Windows XP x64 SP2 with VMWare Server 1.04. The guest OS is 32 bit.
WORKAROUND:
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace
Driver "vmmouse"
with the standard mouse driver:
Driver "mouse"

I can confirm this.
I'm running Intrepid Alpha 2 (fully up-to-date) in VMWare Workstation on Hardy host machine. Using the 'vmmouse' driver causes mouse clicks to occur at the wrong x,y values on the screen. Using the 'mouse' driver fixes it
