mouse not comply user's action in win7 guest with qxl

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

host:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-57.el7.x86_64

guest:
win7-64/32
qxl-win-0.1-19

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-M pc \
-cpu Opteron_G1,check \
-m 4G \
-smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1,maxcpus=16 \
-enable-kvm \
-name win7 \
-uuid 990ea161-6b67-47b2-b803-19fb01d30d12 \
-smbios type=1,manufacturer='Red Hat',product='RHEV Hypervisor',version=el6,serial=koTUXQrb,uuid=feebc8fd-f8b0-4e75-abc3-e63fcdb67170 \
-k en-us \
-rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew \
-nodefaults \
-monitor stdio \
-qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait \
-boot menu=on \
-bios /usr/share/seabios/bios.bin \
-vga qxl \
-spice port=5900,disable-ticketing \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 \
-drive file=/home/win7-64.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads \
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=7 7<>/dev/tap7 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=4e:5d:ac:10:26:dc \

2.In desktop, Press and hold the left mouse button then draft it from left top to right bottom, like select all icons use mouse in desktop.
3.

Actual results:
Mouse not comply with user's action, like someone drag it from reverse, mouse move with shake while draft it.

Expected results:
Mouse move smoothly.

Additional info:
Change vga to cirru/std this problem gone, Downgrade qxl to qxl-win-0.1-17.

Which client do you use?

I can't reproduce with virt-manager. Both mouse in client or server mode works fine.

Comment 3 mazhang 2014-03-06 01:48:55 UTC

virt-viewer-0.5.4-3.fc18.x86_64

Comment 7 mazhang 2014-03-07 02:49:20 UTC

Just found use virt-viewer-0.5.7-7.el7.x86_64 on rhel7 desktop, works well. 
if connect rhel7 by ""ssh -X hostname" from fc18, got problem.

Ok, changing bug title.

That makes sense. The client uses gdk_display_warp_pointer(), which isn't working over remote protocols. If your guest is configured correctly, you have mouse in client mode. For that to work, you need a working usb-tablet and/or a spice-vdagent.

I am tempted to close this bug as WONTFIX, since this is more a configuration issue and technical limitation.

Could you try with a guest using usb tabler & running vdagent?
thanks

This problem gone with using usb tabler and vdagent.
Please close this bug, thanks.
