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.

Actual results:
cursor changed became hard to see and the position is deviation.

Expected results:
viogpudo driver can be installed successfully, the cursor and all devices for display can work well.

As shown in the images attachment above, the cursor got a little problems after viogpudo driver was installed.
[1]attachment 1750505 [details]: show the cursor is acting normally before viogpudo is installed..
[2]attachment 1750506 [details]: the cursor became invisible after installation.
[3]attachment 1750507 [details]: the cursor no longer looks like a cursor.

Correct a point that this issue was hit on win10-like guest. not on win8-guest. please notice that, thanks.
Comment 6 Vadim Rozenfeld 2021-02-02 06:07:38 UTC 
Can you please give a try to drivers from build 194
https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=1484340 ?
Comment 7 dehanmeng 2021-02-02 15:18:35 UTC 
Hi Vadim,
For win2019 guest issues becomes slightly that the cursor is visible now, but it split into two cursors like following attachment:
For win2016 guest it hit issue sort of like bz_1922012. the screen response nothing.

still try to verify this issue on win-10-like guest, will update other guest and more accurate comments.
thanks for your effort again.

Thanks a lot Dehan,
Can it be that you are experiencing some sort of cursor delayed update, that 
happen with VNC viewer, when you start moving mouse rapidly and in different directions 
and as the result you can see two cursors - one is local (rendered by VM) and 
another one that belongs to host.

Best,
Vadim.
Comment 9 dehanmeng 2021-02-05 02:42:38 UTC 
reproduce it on win10-like guest with virtio-win-prewhql-193.iso 
step to reproduce as comment0

Actual results:
cursor changed became hard to see and the position is deviation.

Expected results:
viogpudo driver can be installed successfully, the cursor display can work well.

Verified it on win10-like guest with version virtio-win-prewhql-194.iso
step to verify as comment0 as well

Actual results:
like comment8 said, the cursor sort of delayed update. the original issue do disappear. viogpudo driver can be installed successfully and cursor display works well.

Expected results:
viogpudo driver can be installed successfully, the cursor display can work well.
