Sorry this other note was delayed, but I do find that its slightly different 
performance-wise when I for the no auto devices, but I am then asking the server 
to use the vmmouse driver.  I think it could have to do with the multiple mice 
that show up.

The logs and confs are here: http://www.lordmorgul.net/pub/fedora/vmware/
There are noauto vs auto, the pre-beta no auto config was trying to specify 
everything, the post-beta auto config was trying not to.  If you see anything 
there that may have an impact in this I hope you didn't build that yet. ;)  Thanks
