Mouse Pointer Disappears

[vvuiverine]

At times the mouse pointer will disappear. This usually happens when using the mouse and the pointer will not come back until the mouse is moved repeatedly. The mouse/vmware setup seems to be fine with other distros.

O/S: Debian Sarge (runs under vmware in winXP)
Xfree86 version: 4.1.0
kde version: 3.3.2
mouse: Logitech USB
window manager: KDM 3.3.2



XFree86 mouse portion of config file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" <------ tried setting this to Logitech, USB and PS2
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "HWCursor" "off" <------- tried setting this to on
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" <------- tried eliminating this from file
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "ChordMiddle" <------- tried eliminating this from file
EndSection

VMware emulates hardware, So it is not relevant what hardware you actually have but what vmware emulates you have.
