Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU display problem w/ in terminal server client (Windows XPHost)

[Francois Rioux]

Thank you Filip,

 

It worked for the display. 

 

However, the mouse still behaves erratically.  It moves left to right, but not in a coordinated way with the physical mouse.  Worst, it won't move up or down.  Actually, it almost always moves up as it is stuck in the upper row of the terminal screen (the qemu window).

 

Obviously (?), the mouse cursor doesn't really get grabbed in the qemu window when in a terminal server session.  It may be that 2nd redirection that does not  resolve right.

mouse movement -> physical host -> terminal client window (qemu host) -> qemu guest window.

 

Any hint on what causes that?
