If you use ati-vga try -device ati-vga,romfile="",guest_hwcursor=true to 
get less jumpy mouse or -vga none -device sm501 instead of -device ati-vga 
which may also work better. (The default for ati-vga is host hardware 
cursor but if the pointer acceleration settings on host vs. guest are very 
different it may jump around; that's a general problem with QEMU ui mouse 
handling so can't do much about that in device model).
