[Qemu-devel] [Bug 894037] Re: With VNC, "-usbdevice tablet" no longer makes mouse pointers line up

[Timothy Miller]

>From VNC, you access the monitor via Ctrl-Alt-2 and Ctrl-Alt-1.  It
works the same.

"info mice" gives me:
* Mouse #1: QEMU USB Tablet (absolute)
  Mouse #0: QEMU PS/2 Mouse

As for Windows and VESA, I'm not sure what it's doing, but I can select
all sorts of resolutions, like 1440x900.  The default adaptor in the
past (cirrus?) was much more limited.  It must be doing some kind of
BIOS thunking, but I bet it would be more efficient to have a VESA
driver, no?

Title:
  With VNC, "-usbdevice tablet" no longer makes mouse pointers line up

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I use qemu in VNC mode.  In order to get the client and server mouse
  pointers to line up, I've had to use the "-usbdevice tablet" option.
  This no longer works, and it behaves the same as if the option is not
  there.  This makes my VMs unusable to me.

  Here's how I'm booting WinXP:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -vga std -drive
  cache=writeback,index=0,media=disk,file=winxp.img -k en-us -m 2048
  -smp 2 -vnc :3101 -usbdevice tablet -boot c -enable-kvm &

  The Windows install hasn't changed, only qemu.

  I'm running this version of QEMU:

  QEMU emulator version 0.15.0 (qemu-kvm-0.15.0), Copyright (c)
  2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

  I'll see about upgrading to 0.15.1, but since I haven't seen other
  reports of this particular problem in your DB, I'm assuming that this
  problem has not been fixed between 0.15.0 and 0.15.1.
