>Description:
HAL integration of the vmmouse driver currently has two issues:

- In the FDI file, the match element key="input.originating_device"
	contains="i8042_AUX_port" does not match on FreeBSD, so the the callout
	is never added, and the driver never activated.
- The callout script uses hal-set-property --direct, which is not available
	in hal-0.5.10, the current port version of hal.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try moving the mouse outside the VMware window.

>Fix:

This patch forces the usage of the VMware mouse driver. Once hal-0.5.12 or
newer is in ports, this patch should be changed to add the callout again.
