IIRC vmware-tools is not quite in line with Xorg and refused to work without finding /etc/XF86Config. Finally got it to work for both gpm and X by having both that and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and for good measure doing "ln -fs /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse".
On my VMware system with a Logitech mouse...
/etc/sysconfig/mouse: FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)" MOUSETYPE=imps2 XEMU3="no" XMOUSETYPE=IMPS/2 DEVICE=/dev/input/mice
/etc/sysconfig/gpm # Additional options for gpm (e.g. acceleration), device OPTIONS="" DEVICE="/dev/input/mice" MOUSETYPE="exps2"
Seems to me I found a more elegant solution on another system but I'm not there.
Make sure you have VMware 4.5.2 build-8848, or later if available.
May also want to get and install http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update73.tar.gz or later.
