Not sure. But as a general rule of thumb, you're better off
going with an absolute-position device (the standard one is
the USB tablet device) rather than a relative-position one
like the PS/2 mouse when you're giving the guest an emulated
pointing device. A relative-position one will always tend to
get out of sync with the host mouse, and an absolute-position
one won't.
