About a week ago, the only version of vmware I was able to get to work 
reliably was vmware2 on FreeBSD 4.10.  Today I reinstalled FreeBSD 
5.3-B7 and tried to get vmware3 to work.  It worked, but I had exactly 
the same mouse problem you described.

I deinstalled vmware3 and tried to install vmware2 on 5.3-B7, and 
received some error during the 'make install'.  The error was "mod_" 
something and ended with "_ioctl", I think.

So now I am reinstalling 4.10, since I know I can make vmware2 work on 
it.  Also, SerenityVirtual's commercial virtual machine runs on 4.10, 
though I am not sure if it is available or not.

If you find the solution to the freezing mouse, please post it, and I 
will switch back to 5.3 too.

thx!
