Re: [Qemu-devel] Cursor problems.

[Jason]

I did some quick looking around on SDL's site and came aross a FAQ about
DGA mouse support,
http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=3#28
On a whim, I decided to give this a shot.  I ran

# export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

before running qemu and it worked like a charm.  I'm not quite sure what
DGA Mouse Support is, but it would appear that disabling it fixes my
problems with the mouse acting funny.   I just thought someone might like
to know.  I have a thread on the forms that I'll post this to as well. 
Perhaps it'll help someone.
