Subject: Re: [9fans] Teleporting Mouse in VMWare Fusion 1.1.3

if you moved the mouse during rio startup you may cause rio to be out
of sync with the values from the mouse driver. there is a reset
command in the driver which causes this behaviour to stop. if you have
a window open "echo reset > /dev/mousectl" sometimes helps. rebooting
and keeping the hands off the mouse while rio is booting should make
it work (fingers crossed :)
