This bug doesn't seem to exist in current grml ISOs anymore. Closing the 
bugreport therefore.

Removing the release-stopper tag, we have a working workaround in current grml-
x and will investigate on that if we have updated xorg packages.

See:

The current workaround works fine, but I'd like to see original vmmouse support 
coming back....

The vmmouse driver is broken in current Xorg, I'm still investigating on that. 
In the meanwhile just drop the InputDevice-line for the mouse inside xorg.conf 
so evdev is used instead of a specific configuration.
