Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
The hal-probe-vmmouse callout used to detect if you have a VMWare pointing device uses the "vmmouse_detect" command, which is in package mdetect. For one reason or another it is not a dependency and not part of Jaunty's base install, hence vmmouse does not work out of the box.
Installing the mdetect package makes the VMWare mouse integration work out of the box again.
Thus, mdetect needs to be added as a dependency for xserver-
