 Yup, vmmouse is back to working order now; -vga vmware is still
broken tho.

 Oh and I just tried -usbdevice tablet with my usual sidux iso guest,
and unlike with vmmouse, the guest cursor wasnt warped to the right
position when the host cursor entered the qemu window...  does that
work for anywone else?
