[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1787505] [NEW] Solaris host: no network connection, mouse pointer mismatch

[Michele Denber]

Public bug reported:

This is probably a bit far afield but on a Solaris 10 SPARC host (Sun
M3000) running a Windows XP guest like this:

./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -boot d  -smp 3 -net nic -net user -hda
/bkpool/qemuimages/XP.img -cdrom /bkpool/qemuimages/xp.iso &

the vnc server starts up and Windows boots normally.  However, there is
no network connectivity.  There are no network devices visible in XP's
Networking tab of Control Panel and a ping of the local router reports
"unreachable".

Also, the keyboard works fine but the guest mouse pointer is offset from
the host mouse position by an amount that varies by screen position.
This makes it impossible to point to locations near the edge of the qemu
window.  This seems to be a previously reported problem, but the
suggested fix, " -device usb-tablet", prevents qemu from even starting:

qemu-system-x86_64: -device usb-tablet: No 'usb-bus' bus found for
device 'usb-tablet'

The physical mouse is connected to the USB port of a Sun Ray 2fs
controlling the M3000 via Sun Ray server.  I apologize if this is a
configuration issue and not a bug but I don't know where else to report
it and have been unable to find a solution in the documentation.
