Description of problem:
Mouse could not used on win2k8 guest while via remote-viewer

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.445.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-502.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
3/3
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot up guest with the following CLI
  /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive file=en_windows_server_2008_datacenter_enterprise_standard_sp2_x86_dvd_342333.iso,if=none,cache=unsafe,media=cdrom,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-0 -device ide-drive,id=ide0-0-0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,bus=ide.0,unit=0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.7.2.iso,if=none,cache=none,media=cdrom,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-2 -device ide-drive,id=ide0-0-2,drive=drive-ide0-0-2,bus=ide.1,unit=0 -drive file=/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.7.2_x86.vfd,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none -global isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0 -drive file=win2k8-32.raw,if=none,cache=none,media=disk,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-1 -device virtio-blk-pci,id=ide1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1 -monitor stdio -vnc :3 -vga cirrus -usb -device usb-tablet,id=tablet1 -boot menu=on -chardev file,path=/root/console.log,id=serial1 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial1,id=s1 -cpu Penryn -smp 2 -m 2G -enable-kvm -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0 -device virtio-rng-pci,id=rng0 -drive file=test2832.raw,if=none,cache=none,media=disk,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-3 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,drive=drive-ide0-0-3 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/tt2832,server,nowait,id=channel0 -device virtserialport,chardev=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=54:34:4f:50:22:F1,bus=pci.0 -name win2k8-32-guest

Hmm, doesn't reproduce on a quick try.  Different win2k8 build though (en_windows_server_2008_r2_with_sp1_x64_dvd_617601.iso), and also simply
booting the installer (/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -vnc :9 -m 1G -cdrom $iso -usb -device usb-tablet), then wobbling the mouse, which works just fine.

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.446.el6.x86_64 here.

How do you test?  Boot installer?  Boot installed system?  Is this a fresh install?  Is this a regression?

  No

  yes

  System install

  I found it for the first time,so I could not say it was a regression.
  Besides,I found you only add "-vnc :9" and can you add "-vnc :3 -vga cirrus" to your cli and have a try.Thanks

Thanks

That doesn't make a difference, cirrus is the default for '-vga'.

Can you try a newer win2k8 (R2) build in your setup?
This could be a guest bug, possibly newer win2k8 builds have it fixed.
