same or even more problems (this one was really buggy)
With OI, you have a mouse there but quite inresponsive with a "second 
shadow mouse pointer"

Basic settings and console is working with 6.0 vsphere, others like the 
vsphere filebrowser with upload not. Windows Vsphere is definitly EoL.

I installed the tools on ESXi 6.0u2 via pkg install open-vm-tools but no 
difference regarding mouse

you can bootup OI live with the GUI. A mouse right click gives you a 
property menu where you can navigate with keyboard. Left mouse key or 
mouse pointer not working/visible.
