When I wrote "Does it show up in dmesg or /proc?", I meant "Does the mouse 
connection show up in dmesg output" and "Do you see the mouse in 
/proc/bus/input/devices?"

I still don't understand the problem. I'm guessing you see the cursor in the

I don't understand what you are doing with the mouse, but there are various 
command line tools (dhclient, ifconfig, etc) that you may be able to use in the 
client. These are nothing to do with qemu though.

A clear, explicit problem description will make this a lot easier. 

You still haven't answered all of my questions, and you still haven't
