This probably has to do with the new system of auto configuring input devices
(hal, xorg auto devices, managed evdev), just like the keyboard problems in the
list at present. There is a bug re vmware mouse misbehavior [1] and keyboards
[2] that are related. You could confirm that adding Option "NoAutoAddDevices"
to your xorg.conf ServerFlags also fixes the problem (while not forcing
set_mouse 0).

Very interesting. I added the serverflags section and set option NoAutoAddDevices
to true. This did indeed correct the problem. However, info mice still showed two mice,
with the vmmouse selected. Then I noticed that my xorg.conf was using
the VMMOUSE module, even though I'm running qemu-kvm. Changing it to
use Mouse0 and the mouse driver also corrected the problem.
