There are two points in the description above:
- xf86-input-vmmouse driver can be skipped with linux 4.1 (I have checked
that in qemu. Wanted to install VMware, but got errors when compiling the
kernel modules, so cannot check for now)
- if the driver is used with this new kernel, it must be version 13.1.
So I understand that your point is that this driver should be included as
soon as possible in the book. I'll do that tomorrow.
