[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1437970] Re: qemu-system-x86_64 - two mouse pointers & fast scrolling problem

[LPNow]

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  System Specs
  
  Host:
  --------
  Slackware 14.1 x86_64
  Openbox 3.5.2
  tint2 panel (svn version)
  Nvidia GTX660M
  nvidia-driver-346.35
  Screen: 17" @address@hidden
  
  Guest
  ---------
  Slackware 14.1 x86_64
  XFce 4.10
  Screen 17" @1920x1080
  xf86-video-vmware 13.0.1
+ 
+ *** I am not using an xorg.conf file in the guest ***
  
  QEMU 2.2.1
  
  I start Slackware in QEMU using 'Zoom To Fit' when it first boots up and
  I log into X, at this point I notice the mouse shows with 2 pointers and
  when I move the mouse around, shows as trails, but it's actually a
  second pointer that appears under the first.
  
  If I use 'Ctrl Alt F' and go into full screen mode the mouse gets
  corrected and only appears as one pointer and no pointer under the
  second one when moving around. So this mouse problem only appears the
  first time I log into X with 'Zoom To Fit'.
  
  Also if log in instead as 'Full Screen' I do not see the issue, as well
  as if I log in 'Full Screen' and change back to 'Zoom To Fit' it does
  not happen.
  
  I also noticed that if I scroll with the mouse wheel quickly, as an
  example, in any application and wanting to move quickly around, the
  mouse ends up moving me instead to another virtual desktop, XFce by
  default uses 4. If I just scroll slowly nothing happens, it's only when
  moving the mouse wheel quickly that the focus gets taken off the
  application for some reason and put on the desktop and moves you.
  
  Command line options:
  --------------------------------
  qemu-system-x86_64 -rtc base=localtime Slackware\ 14.1\ x64.img -m 4096 
--enable-kvm -smp 2 -vga vmware -usbdevice tablet
  
  I wanted to use -usbdevice tablet to have seamless mouse movement back
  and forth from Host to Guest without having to Grab...
  
  If I remove '-usbdevice tablet' and log into X the frst time as 'Zoom To
  Fit' I see two mouse pointers, but as soon as I click the desktop and
  the mouse is grabbed the second one goes away and when I move the mouse
  there is only one pointer.
  
  Also without the option '-usbdevice tablet' and I move the scroll wheel
  quickly the mouse stays focused on the application and it doesn't move
  the desktop.
  
  Please see the attached screen shots, qemu_1.jpg shows 2 mouse pointers
  when I first log into X as 'Zoom To Fit', and qemu_2.jpg shows when I'm
  staying in 'Zoom To Fit' mode and moving the mouse around, with a
  pointer under the pointer.

  QEMU 2.2.1

  and I log into X, at this point I notice the mouse shows with 2
  pointers and when I move the mouse around, shows as trails, but it's
  actually a second pointer that appears under the first.

  Also if log in instead as 'Full Screen' I do not see the issue, as
  well as if I log in 'Full Screen' and change back to 'Zoom To Fit' it
  does not happen.

  I also noticed that if I scroll with the mouse wheel quickly, as an

  mouse ends up moving me instead to another virtual desktop, XFce by

  I wanted to use -usbdevice tablet to have seamless mouse movement back

  If I remove '-usbdevice tablet' and log into X the frst time as 'Zoom
  To Fit' I see two mouse pointers, but as soon as I click the desktop

  mouse there is only one pointer.

  Also without the option '-usbdevice tablet' and I move the scroll
  wheel quickly the mouse stays focused on the application and it
