some Linux distros not recognizing click

I booted up Ubuntu and System rescue CD into their graphical modes and Fusion doesn't seem to be passing a mouse click to them properly.

Fedora worked just fine, if that helps make it any more confusing.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

Out of curiosity I just tried that here. Attached a system-rescue-cd version 4.2.0 to an ubuntu guest and started the VM up.

Choose default (top setting) on the boot menu, typed "startx" to start the graphical environment and I had mouse support.

No problem whatsoever using latest VMware Fusion, version 7.1.0

The things missing in your post to adequately being able to help you are:

- missing VMware Fusion version

- missing version of system-rescue-cd

- what option did you select from the boot menu on system rescue cd

How did you configure your VM? What is it's guest OS?

Changing that to ubuntu/linux kernel might help, for the record my settings are "ubuntu 64-bit"

You would want that to match the live CD a bit.

If none of the above helps, then attach a vmware.log file to your reply here.

The vmware.log file can be found in the virtual machine bundle.
