How to avoid error message about missing "vmmouse_detect"

I stumble on an information like the following in the file “/var/log/messages”.

...
Jun 29 11:04:16 Sonne udevd[764]: failed to execute '/usr/bin/vmmouse_detect' '/usr/bin/vmmouse_detect': No such file or directory
...

Is the issue “udevd: missing /usr/bin/vmmouse_detect under kvm based installation” still related to my situation?

only if you are running 12.1 Milestone 3?
if so, you probably need to move to the released 12.1…

anyway, it is customary when originating a thread, to actually explain
the situation…

The distribution “openSUSE 12.1” (with Linux “3.1.10-1.9-desktop”) is running on my system. I did not fiddle with the release variant that was mentioned in the referenced bug report. It seems that an error message has just returned.

I would like to clean-up such unexpected messages so that I can concentrate on potential solutions for other more serious issues that have appeared since my recent software updates.

you are saying you have a bug which bugzilla says was fixed…so, you
need to log the bug you see…(so it can be fixed again)

HOWEVER read on

well…now i see (for the first time) that you have “serious issues”
which recently appeared–so do NOT log that bug above because it could
very well be a result of the software “updates” you applied, and your
current ‘issues’…

do you have an active thread in which you have explained your “serious
issues”, and asked for help?

oh! now i see you posted you have a “similar situation” in a thread with
a trashed system…i highly suggest you return to that thread and see
if my answer to the OP is helpful to you, see:
http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=476403

by the way, it is generally frowned on here to jump into the active
thread of another, with even the exact same problem…so, don’t
confuse his thread with your problems…instead start a new thread, and
explain YOUR problem…

Are you running VMware? That’s what the log indicates.

I mentioned various issues in bug reports and a few discussions here before my recent KDE 4.8.4 “surprises”. I try to distinguish different error sources. Further stories might follow …

No. - I do not run the affected openSUSE installations on such a virtual machine software. I do also not let them run on a VM variant like VirtualBox at the moment.
