[Qemu-devel] [Bug 894037] Re: With VNC, "-usbdevice tablet" no longer makes mouse pointers line up

[Anthony Liguori]

Can you please upgrade to 1.0 and see if that fixes the problem.  The
following patch should fix your problem (and is present in 1.0):

commit 21635e121ae0f0ab7874152a7c2f96e9d8cd642f

    usb/hid: add hid_pointer_activate, use it
    
    HID reorganziation broke the usb tablet in windows xp.  The reason is
    that xp activates idle before it starts polling, which creates a
    chicken-and-egg issue:  We don't call hid_pointer_poll because there are
    no pending events.  We don't get any events because the activation code
    in hid_pointer_poll is never executed and thus all pointer events are
    routed to the PS/2 mouse by qemu.
    
    Fix this by creating a hid_pointer_activate function and call it from
    usb-hid when the guest sets the idle state.

Title:
  With VNC, "-usbdevice tablet" no longer makes mouse pointers line up

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I use qemu in VNC mode.  In order to get the client and server mouse
  pointers to line up, I've had to use the "-usbdevice tablet" option.
  This no longer works, and it behaves the same as if the option is not
  there.  This makes my VMs unusable to me.

  Here's how I'm booting WinXP:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -vga std -drive
  cache=writeback,index=0,media=disk,file=winxp.img -k en-us -m 2048
  -smp 2 -vnc :3101 -usbdevice tablet -boot c -enable-kvm &

  The Windows install hasn't changed, only qemu.

  I'm running this version of QEMU:

  QEMU emulator version 0.15.0 (qemu-kvm-0.15.0), Copyright (c)
  2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

  I'll see about upgrading to 0.15.1, but since I haven't seen other
  reports of this particular problem in your DB, I'm assuming that this
  problem has not been fixed between 0.15.0 and 0.15.1.
