[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-doc: Update to use the new way of attaching US


From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-doc: Update to use the new way of attaching USB devices
Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 10:58:31 +0200

The preferred way of adding USB devices is via "-device" and
"device_add" nowadays, so let's get rid of "-usbdevice" and
"usb_add" in the documentation.

 Virtual Mouse.  This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.

 Pointer device that uses absolute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
 This means QEMU is able to report the mouse position without having
 to grab the mouse.  Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.

 Virtual Wacom PenPartner tablet.  This device is similar to the @code{tablet}
 above but it can be used with the tslib library because in addition to touch
 coordinates it reports touch pressure.

address@hidden option. The @code{vendorid} and @code{productid} options can be
