FreeBSD 10.3/11 Desktop mouse integration

I have FreeBSD running on VMware workstation player 12.x (latest) and I can't get the mouse to move back and forth from my Windows 7 host and my FreeBSD guest.  CentOS and other Linux VMs obviously work.  I have loaded vmware tools for FreeBSD and tried open-vm-tools. 

I have vmware services loaded at startup in my rc.conf and I have created a X11 config file and made the necessary changes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Try like this in your xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier  "Mouse0"

#       Driver      "mouse"

        Driver      "vmmouse"

        Option      "Protocol" "auto"

        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"

        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

EndSection
