[oi-dev] OI hipster-2015 under vmware

It looks like the tools provided by vmware are not compatible with the
Xorg server in hipster-2015.  Xorg.0.log says:

[ 56371.097] (II) LoadModule: "vmmouse"
[ 56371.097] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/amd64/vmmouse_drv.so
[ 56371.098] (II) Module vmmouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 56371.098]    compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 12.7.0
[ 56371.098]    Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
[ 56371.098]    ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0
[ 56371.098] (EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the
server's version (19)
[ 56371.098] (II) UnloadModule: "vmmouse"
[ 56371.098] (II) Unloading vmmouse

These appear to be available here.
   http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/

Has anyone tried to get these to build? If not, where would one add
it?  I guess the xnv consolidation, but where is the one hipster uses?

Strangely, this vmware driver (on the same system) seems to be OK:

[ 56370.489] (II) LoadModule: "vmware"
[ 56370.490] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amd64/vmware_drv.so
[ 56370.497] (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 56370.497]    compiled for 1.14.7, module version = 13.1.0
[ 56370.497]    Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 56370.497]    ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 14.1

But that could stop working too...

Thanks,
Gordon
