Depends on the pointer input device being used.

Start guest with "-device usb-tablet".  Go to HMP.  'info mice' should
list the ps/2 mouse and the usb tablet.  Using 'mouse_set' (or was it
set_mouse?) you can force one of the two devides being used.

If you pick the tablet (should be active by default) absolute pointer
events are passed to the guest, and qemu works in absolute mode (i.e.
sdl doesn't do pointer grabs).

If you pick the mouse relative mouse events are passed to the guest, and
qemu works in relative mode (pointer grab is pretty much required to
work with the guest).
