--I did a quick google and also searched the vmware site, but came up empty. I'm using vmware v3.

--Under XFree86 v3, I had the mouse polling increased using:

Code:
Section "Pointer"
  Protocol              "BusMouse"
  Device                "/dev/psaux"
  SampleRate            60
  Emulate3Buttons
  Emulate3Timeout       200
  BaudRate              1200
EndSection
--Dunno if this works in XFree v4 tho, and now I'm using a USB mouse. Please, somebody hit me with the ClueBat of knowledge... TIA
