 In the default configuration, VNC is on and SDL is off. Therefore VNC

+\subsection{Use mouse in VNC window}
+The default PS/2 mouse will not work properly in VMX by a VNC window.
Summagrap hics mouse emulation does work in this environment. A
Summagraphics mouse can be  enabled by reconfiguring 2 services:
+
+{\small {\tt 1. General Purpose Mouse (GPM). The GPM daemon is
configured in di fferent ways in different Linux distributions. On a
Redhat distribution, this is  accomplished by changing the file
`/etc/sysconfig/mouse' to have the following: \\
+MOUSETYPE="summa"\\
+XMOUSETYPE="SUMMA"\\
+DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0\\
+\\
+2. X11. For all Linux distributions, change the Mouse0 stanza in
`/etc/X11/xorg .conf' to:\\
+Section "InputDevice"\\
+Identifier "Mouse0"\\
+Driver "summa"\\
+Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"\\
+Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"\\
+Option "Mode" "Absolute"\\
+Option "Name" "EasyPen"\\
+Option "Compatible" "True"\\
+Option "Protocol" "Auto"\\
+Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"\\
+Option "Vendor" "GENIUS"\\
+EndSection}}
+
+If the Summagraphics mouse isn't the default mouse, you can manually
kill 'gpm'  and restart it with the command "gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t
summa". Note that Summagr aphics mouse makes no sense in an SDL window
and is therefore not available in t his environment.

 VMX guests can be destroyed in the same way as can paravirtualized
guests. We r ecommend that you type the command
