Re: [Qemu-devel] VNC terminal server?

Hi Dscho,

this virtual Wacom tablet you refer to... is there a [free or built-in] 
Windows 2000/XP driver associated with it that supports either no 
acceleration and/or absolute positioning?  If so, perhaps I can look at 
implementing it in QEMU in my "spare" time ;)  Do you have a link to 
documentation and/or drivers?  If the guest OS can't be easily told to 
not do any acceleration and/or use absolute cursor positioning rather 
than relative moves, it's not that helpful to have a new type of input 
device.  I suspect a tablet driver can be easily configured this way 
since design people who probably use these devices want perfect 
precision between pointer and screen - otherwise they'd probably just 
use a mouse/trackball.  But you can never be sure how Microsoft (or 
Wacom) decided to implement the Windows version of the driver.

The mouse sync solution we have in Win4Lin Pro is okay, but it's a bit 
slow and I'd like to do something much cleaner.  Of course if I do the 
wacom tablet implementation, it will be open source and part of QEMU itself.

Thanks!
