    Input: add vmmouse driver · 8b8be51b
    Thomas Hellstrom authored
    VMMouse enables low-latency mouse-cursor-movements for VMWare and QEMU
    guests.  By removing the guest cursor and using the host as a guest cursor
    the cursor movement appears instant although in reality there is some lag.
    To be able to do this, the host's view of the cursor position must exactly
    match the guest's view and an absolute pointer device is needed. Enter the
    VMMouse. While the VMMouse driver has historically been an Xorg user-space
    driver, implementing it as a kernel imput driver enables rootless Xorg and
    new compositing display servers for VMware guests.
