Mouse does not work under vm

I am running player 3.1.2 build-301548, and I have a new mouse, wireless Pixxo - works great but it does not work inside a vm.

Under linux lsusb shows it, xinput list shows it properly. I tried in an Ubuntu vm as well as an XP vm. cat /dev/input/mice does nothing for that device - but works as expected for other devices

The device id is 1bcf:0535 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.

I have a few other mice and hey all work fine, some usb, some ps2 via usb. when the mouse is connected I see the activity indicator working, but no motion. Not sure what to try or what other info would be helpful.

Thanks!
