[oi-dev] OI hipster-2015 under vmware

[Gordon Ross]

Yea!  I figured it out!   The vmmouse driver was left there from a
long-ago (and probably misguided) installation of the tools from the
vmware tools virtual CD.
Some "pkg search" commands found me the ones already built into xnv,
and I just needed to install it:
sudo pkg install pkg:/x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-input-vmmouse

I'm not sure why that wasn't brought in by "entire" though...
