[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Let mouse_button monitor command accept coordinates

[Soren Hansen]

The mouse_button monitor command currently results in a call like this:

     kbd_mouse_event(0, 0, 0, mouse_button_status);

For a pointer in relative mode, this means a button gets pressed (or
or released) and nothing else. However, if the pointer currently being
controlled is in absolute mode (such as -usbtablet), it means that the
pointer will warp to (0, 0), effectively limiting clicking to the top
left corner of the desktop in the guest.

To work around this, I propose (thanks to Daniel Berrange for the
suggestion) to let the mouse_button monitor command optionally accept
coordinates.
