vmmouse driver and calling conversion_proc

Hi Magnus,

A few months ago, we at VMware noticed that the latest X servers had stopped
calling conversion_proc and we made a change to call it from within the driver.
In that original discussion, you said that this was a bug and once your fixes
from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10324 were in, it would not
be necessary to do the conversion anymore. Accordingly, we marked that we
only needed to make the call between 1.3.99.0 and 1.4.0.90.

See:

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-input-vmmouse.git;a=commitdiff;h=e72f4fbc61f4a0acf99a4b31f16fdebde9d339f1

But I'm not getting reports that the driver doesn't work for newer 1.4.99.x (1.5)
X servers. At a glance at your patches, I don't see any restoration of calling
conversion_proc.

So what exactly is the situation here? Do we still need to call it or not?

Thanks,
