    Add line "video.hw_pointer=0" (without quotes) to VM Configuration > Hardware > Boot order > Boot flags.

    Any chance you got this working with a guest os of Mavericks

    I too am trying to split a mac so that it can be used by two people (two monitors, two keyboards, two mice). I setup a mavericks VM and when I plug an optical mouse in and specify that it is to be used by the VM it has no pointer. Tried the video.hw_pointer=0 boot flag and that didn't help.

    This flag is only useful for Windows guests. Guest OS X requires [virtualized] hardware mouse pointer support, sorry.
