vmmouse and GPM (console mouse)

[Peter Hanzel]

Hello.

First of all the patch is not complete. It assumes your screen resulution is 
800x600 (framebuffer console).
And you must start gpm with mouse type = vmmouse.

But also I have developed test.c application to read mouse pos using 
VMMouseClient_GetInput and it behaves the same.
You can leave vmware window but not enter. VMMouseClient_GetInput returns 0 
as numPackets.

see attachments.
