I need to use mouse pointer and click functionality while using virtual terminal in Ubuntu 14.40 running on VMWare virtual machine. I've installed gpm with this command

sudo apt-get install gpm

but I can't see the mouse pointer. Is there any step I have to do to make it work or another way beside using gpm?

I am not a VMWare user but there could possibly be 3 issues:

  1. Your copy of VMWare could be quite old and suffering a known bug with mouse use

  2. You have set the text display to more than 100%. If so:

    1. Right-click anywhere on the client/host desktop and click Personalize.
    2. Click Display.
    3. Select 100%.

  3. You have incorrectly set the mouse 'grabbing' behaviour that is set in: Edit --> Preferences --> Input

Hopefully attention to these 3 issues will resolve your mouse issues...
