mouse and console issue

[Michael Weber]

Hey, Bill.

All of my issues like that (though I haven't seen those exact symptoms) went away when I got the VMWare tools properly installed.  I have seen once where I thought I had done the tool install but it didn't take.  After a reboot I still had funky video/mouse issues.  I re-did the tool install and rebooted and all was well.

HTH!

Hi all,
 
    I've just installed Fedora 7 into a Vmware guest, and I've struck a
really frustrating problem. When I type in the console, there is a
massive delay in the characters appearing - until I move the mouse. When
I move the mouse around (not even in an active window, just moving the
mouse) then typing in the console works file - it's hard to type and
move the mouse at the same time so this is kind of annoying :) This
problem is not present if I ssh into the image.
 
    Any ideas?
