RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 \

-m 4G -cpu Opteron_G3,check -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1,maxcpus=4 -enable-kvm -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait -boot menu=on,reboot-timeout=8,strict=on \

-device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x5.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x5 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x5.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x5.0x2 \

Comment 2 Gerd Hoffmann 2015-07-07 07:37:53 UTC 
Guest bug.  modesetting driver most likely.  Saw that with fedora guests too.  Cursor isn't there initially, but shows up on the first shape change (when moving over the gdm password field for example).

Note: qemu stdvga has no hardware cursor support, might be the trigger for this bug.
Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2015-07-15 20:27:07 UTC 
Reassign to xorg-x11-server, which has replaced -modesetting in 7.2.
Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2015-07-22 16:15:21 UTC 
7.2 modesetting driver needs patches merged from the old packaging, devel ack.
