 In the default configuration, VNC is on and SDL is off. Therefore VNC windows 
will open when VMX guests are created. If you want to use SDL to create VMX 
guests, set {\small {\tt sdl=1}} in your VMX configuration file. You can also 
turn off VNC by setting {\small {\tt vnc=0}}.
  
+\subsection{Use mouse in VNC window}
+The default PS/2 mouse will not work properly in VMX by a VNC window. 
Summagraphics mouse emulation does work in this environment. A Summagraphics 
mouse can be enabled by reconfiguring 2 services:

+{\small {\tt 1. General Purpose Mouse (GPM). The GPM daemon is configured in 
different ways in different Linux distributions. On a Redhat distribution, this 
is accomplished by changing the file `/etc/sysconfig/mouse' to have the 
following:\\
+MOUSETYPE="summa"\\
+XMOUSETYPE="SUMMA"\\
+DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0\\
+\\
+2. X11. For all Linux distributions, change the Mouse0 stanza in 
`/etc/X11/xorg.conf' to:\\
+Section "InputDevice"\\
+Identifier "Mouse0"\\
+Driver "summa"\\
+Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"\\
+Option "InputFashion" "Tablet"\\

+Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"\\
+Option "Vendor" "GENIUS"\\

+If the Summagraphics mouse isn't the default mouse, you can manually kill 
'gpm' and restart it with the command "gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t summa". Note that 
Summagraphics mouse makes no sense in an SDL window and is therefore not 
available in this environment.

 \subsection{Destroy VMX guests}
 VMX guests can be destroyed in the same way as can paravirtualized guests. We 
recommend that you type the command
