do you have a debug server installed? I had a look at VMMouseDoPostEvent and it seems to call the API  correctly. can you step through and determine whether the problem is in the driver or the server?

Aha, I see what it is.  With the  new xinput ABI, conversion_proc is never being called.  See xserver commit 60ea7b51fe2b8a19a08b63db48504971a7a50ee6 and then there's also a thread from Debian with a hacky patch at http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.maint.x/browse_thread/thread/9c2ecc22fba0f03a

Until #10324 is fixed, this patch is a good solution.

Yeah, I've gone ahead and added it to the Fedora package for now, but getting the patch from 10324 or similar would definitely make things nicer (and allow for other nice things). 

is this a dupe of bug 12506?

Peter, see bug #10324, there's a patch now.

magnus has merged his patches into master. Could you please verify whether the problem persists?

Seems to work fine with current xserver Git in VMware Workstation.
