Fedora 29 in VMware. built from source from latest git commit.

Are there any linux mouse-locking games that even work correctly in a VM?

[caoli5288]

@MCMrARM I'm not very sure. You means Its VMware's bug?

[MCMrARM]

I mean that virtualization software generally doesn't work with anything you can attempt in order to lock the mouse in the VM and it either does not work or glitches terribly.

[caoli5288]

Okay. THX

[MCMrARM]

I don't think it's right to close the issue - it still may be possible to find a workaround.

I've run into this issue before. The workaround is to disable mouse integration or atleast I think its called that. After that, mouse lock-in in the virtual machine will work normally. However I don't know if you can disable mouse integration in vmware PLAYER, I think it might be a vmware workstation only thing.

[caoli5288]

@Charadon Yes it's vmware workstation only.

In that case, I would wager that finding a way to disable the vmware mouse driver in the virtual machine and just using a generic one might do the trick. How you'd do that is beyond me though. You'd probably have to fiddle with xorg configs.
