Description of problem: Add the following line to rhel5.11 xen guest's configure file and create the guest: usbdevice = "tablet" When enter into the graphical model, the mouse pointer appears to lag behind the small dot indicating the current position in the window(see attachment usbdevice_2.png). It also doesn't work with rhel5.10 guest. As rhel5.11 is the last rhel5 release and now at the end of rhel5.11 release, also this bug is not a critical or regression bug, so it maybe not worth fixing it, just file it for documented purpose. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Guest: RHEL5.11-Server-20140731.0 Xen Host: RHEL5.11-Server-20140731.0 kernel-xen-2.6.18-398.el5 xen-3.0.3-144.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download rhel5.11 iso file as /root/boot.iso 2. Create raw format guest image: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/xen/images/hvm-5.11-64-1.img bs=1M count=1 seek=10000 3. Install the guest using the following vm configure file: #cat hvm-5.11-64-1.cfg name = "hvm-5.11-64-1" maxmem = 1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 4 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "d" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 vnclisten = "0.0.0.0" keymap = "en-us" on_poweroff = "rename-restart" on_reboot = "rename-restart" on_crash = "rename-restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" disk = ["tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/hvm-5.11-64-1.img,xvda,w","file:/root/boot.iso,hdc:cdrom,r"] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:43:73:e7,bridge=xenbr0,script=vif-bridge"] serial = "pty" usbdevice = "tablet" usb=1 Actual results: When enter into the graphical model, the mouse pointer appears to lag behind the small dot indicating the current position in the window. Expected results: After the guest has been started and a new vncviewer session is established, the mouse pointer should track properly as the mouse is moved around the VNC window. Additional info:

It works well for RHEL6.6 and RHEL7.0
