OK, it was simple to try booting into the old kernel, and when I do that, the Windows 10 mouse movement is perfectly smooth, so I'm changing the component of this bug to kernel. I have no idea why only Windows 10 is leaking out through the QXL driver, but whatever is going on appears to be in the kernel. When booted in kernel-4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64 the mouse pointer works smooth as silk inside the Windows 10 KVM. When booted in kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64 the mouse pointer is horrible. But in both kernels the mouse pointer is perfectly fine in Windows XP and Centos virtual machines. Perhaps that will provide a clue :-). Looks like similar problems are described in bug 1352159 for a Fedora 24 XFCE guest system mouse. I just tried kernel 4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64 and it is just as screwy as 4.6.3 was. This appears to only happen when using the Intel graphics built into my motherboard. I just got a GTX 960 card and when I booted the 4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64 kernel with the nouveau driver running the display, the cursor is perfectly normal in the Windows 10 virtual machine. I don't know if that means the component of this bug should change to the xorg-x11-drv-intel driver or not (because the same intel driver has no problems in the 4.5 kernel). One more datapoint probably no one cares about: The nvidia binary drivers also run the cursor perfectly normally in the virtual machine. I went ahead and reported this as an intel driver bug at freedesktop: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97074 *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs. Fedora 24 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-200.fc24. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 25. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 4 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
