Description Cole Robinson 2013-12-06 18:24:39 UTC
This is an up to date F20 host and F20 guest.

Started with a resolution 1024x768, right click gnome desktop->settings->displays->change resolution to 1280x960. After resolution changes, the mouse pointer is not visible in the VM.

The mouse still works in the guest and prelights widgets, but the pointer can't be seen. Switching to a VT in the guest and back to the desktop fix it.

Reproduced with and without spice-vdagent in the guest.

FWIW there's also a guy here mentioning some 'disappearing pointer' related issues with an F20 guest on F19, maybe they are related:

I think this is a drm regression, I think there is a qxl or kernel bug already, I'll try to find it later.

The referenced packages don't make any difference, still 100% reproducible.

gnome-desktop3-3.10.2-2.fc20
glib2-2.38.2-2.fc20

the bug is still open there, adding dep. It is very unlikely a spice-gtk bug, but rather a mutter/mesa/qxl issue.

this also appear on my _physical_ laptop as documented in Bug 1008965 and on KDE

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:55:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Works fine with f22 host and f22 VM now
