Could you try the following patch (against xorg-server)? The server
should then use the vmmouse section as its core pointer device instead
of adding a mouse device. If you can quickly confirm that this works,
I'll try to include it in the xserver for lenny.
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] Look for a device using 'vmmouse' if we can't find one with
'mouse'
When looking for the core pointer device, fall back to the 'vmmouse'
driver if no device in xorg.conf uses 'mouse'.
