(btw, Revision: 6476)

On  Win XP guest, in addition to the broken vmmouse, windows perpetually tells 
me that a new video controller has been detected.  I assume it's talking about 
the vmware-vga device, so I've tried installing vmware's video drivers from 
workstation 5.0.1, 5.5.9 & 6.0.5.  (this also started happening at the same 
time as the vmmouse dying, I just didn't mention it before).


vmware-vga is also broken with a w2k guest (see attached screenshot).  
Although, it has adjusted the sdl window to the correct resolution.

It seems I was mistaken before when I said vmmouse didn't work in w2k guest - 
it does works fine with w2k guest.
I get many debug_vmmouse messages like so:
vmmouse_get_status()
set_data = {0, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
vmmouse_mouse_event(0, 0, 0, 0)
get_data = {564d5868, 0, 80420028, 817a5658, 817a05e8, 0}
vmmouse_get_status()
set_data = {4, 0, 80420028, 817a5658, 817a05e8, 0}
get_data = {564d5868, 4, 80420027, 817a5658, 817a05e8, 0}
vmmouse_data(4)
set_data = {0, 0, 0, 0, 817a05e8, 0}
get_data = {564d5868, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
vmmouse_get_status()
set_data = {0, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
get_data = {564d5868, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
vmmouse_get_status()
set_data = {0, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
get_data = {564d5868, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}

set_data = {0, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
get_data = {564d5868, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}
vmmouse_get_status()
set_data = {0, 0, 28, 5658, 80471854, 818700d8}

It seems to vmware stuff is affected universally.  I'm going to try to narrow 
down an SVN commit tomorrow, if I can get some time...

Thanks.
