[PATCH] Back off if we detect a vmmouse kernel driver v3

Thomas Hellstrom thellstrom at vmware.com
Mon Oct 6 04:17:13 PDT 2014


If a vmmouse kernel driver is active, vmmouse input is handled by the Xorg
evdev driver and not by the vmmouse driver, so make sure the vmmouse_detect
utility doesn't detect a vmmouse if a kernel driver is active.

v2: Change the vmmouse kernel device name, fix comment.
v3: Fix up libudev error handling.
