Ubuntu 8.10, new vmmouse driver segfaults

After updating to the newest version of the vmmouse driver (which recently had problems with Ubuntu 8.10) I now get a segfault upon starting my X-server.

Attached screenshot shows the output in the X-server log file.

After updating to the newest version of the vmmouse driver (which recently had problems with Ubuntu 8.10) I now get a segfault upon starting my X-server.

Hi I had a similar problem and got it fixed by reducing the amount of parameters I passed to the module in my xorg.conf:



Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VMware Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection


Some Specs:
Host is Macbook Pro, running OS 10.5.5 an VMWare Fusion 2.0.1 (128865)
Note: VMwaretools created the xorg.conf with the above params but with mouse instead of vmmouse. I guess this was done as a workaround for an older vmmouse-bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse/+bug/248521).

Anyway, hope this helps.
