[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1437970] Re: qemu-system-x86_64 - two mouse pointers & fast scrolling problem

[LPNow <5bd923f9@opayq.com>]

As a Linux geek, developers need to take the time to respond to bug
reports. People like myself help you to improve your app.

This is one of the very few reports I've made in many years of Linux
where a developer(s) doesn't take the time to reply to a bug report to
let the end-user know what is going on.

Now in 2.5.0 I still see the same problem, so has anyone even looked at
this?

I hope someone this time will reply, I do not like taking my time to
make reports with projects that show no interests back to the community,
trying to help.

Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64 - two mouse pointers & fast scrolling problem

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  System Specs

  Host:
  --------
  Slackware 14.1 x86_64
  Openbox 3.5.2
  tint2 panel (svn version)
  Nvidia GTX660M
  nvidia-driver-346.35
  Screen: 17" @1920x1080@60Hz
  Logitech USB mouse

  Guest
  ---------
  Slackware 14.1 x86_64
  XFce 4.10
  Screen 17" @1920x1080
  xf86-video-vmware 13.0.1

  *** I am not using an xorg.conf file in the guest ***

  QEMU 2.2.1

  I start Slackware in QEMU using 'Zoom To Fit' when it first boots up
  and I log into X, at this point I notice the mouse shows with 2
  pointers and when I move the mouse around, shows as trails, but it's
  actually a second pointer that appears under the first.

  If I use 'Ctrl Alt F' and go into full screen mode the mouse gets
  corrected and only appears as one pointer and no pointer under the
  second one when moving around. So this mouse problem only appears the
  first time I log into X with 'Zoom To Fit'.

  Also if log in instead as 'Full Screen' I do not see the issue, as
  well as if I log in 'Full Screen' and change back to 'Zoom To Fit' it
  does not happen.

  I also noticed using '-usbdevice tablet', the mouse wheel scrolling in any application, the mouse ends up moving me instead to another virtual desktop, XFce by default uses 4. Sometimes it moves me to another desktop if I move the mouse wheel slowly, and sometimes I need to move
  it quickly, but in Firefox it doesn't take much movement of the mousewheel and I get moved to another desktop. Browsing with Firefox
  using '-usbdevice tablet' is not easy.

  Command line options:
  --------------------------------
  qemu-system-x86_64 -rtc base=localtime Slackware\ 14.1\ x64.img -m 4096 --enable-kvm -smp 2 -vga vmware -usbdevice tablet

  I wanted to use -usbdevice tablet to have seamless mouse movement back
  and forth from Host to Guest without having to Grab...

  If I remove '-usbdevice tablet' and log into X the frst time as 'Zoom
  To Fit' I see two mouse pointers, but as soon as I click the desktop
  and the mouse is grabbed the second one goes away and when I move the
  mouse there is only one pointer.

  Also without the option '-usbdevice tablet' and I move the scroll
  wheel quickly the mouse stays focused on the application and it
  doesn't move the desktop.

  Please see the attached screen shots, qemu_1.jpg shows 2 mouse
  pointers when I first log into X as 'Zoom To Fit', and qemu_2.jpg
  shows when I'm staying in 'Zoom To Fit' mode and moving the mouse
  around, with a pointer under the pointer.
