Description of problem: I'm using the RHEL5.2 beta bits, and when booting a fully virtualized guest, the mouse pointer is extremely jumpy. That is, I can move the mouse around, but every half a second or so the mouse will freeze for a moment and stop moving. A second or so later, it will unfreeze and continue to track. This happened on both an i386 and x86_64 RHEL-5 guest on an x86_64 host. Package versions: kernel-xen-2.6.18-84.el5 gtk-vnc-0.3.2-1.el5 virt-viewer-0.0.2-1.el5 virt-manager-0.5.3-4.el5 libvirt-0.3.3-5.el5 xen-3.0.3-58.el5 The machine in question is an AMD RevF.

Seeing the same thing with RHEL4 FV guests. my dom0 revs: kernel-xen-2.6.18-84.el5 (same) gtk-vnc-0.3.2-1.el5 (same) virt-viewer-0.0.2-1.el5 (same) virt-manager-0.5.3-2.el5 (-2 revs older) libvirt-0.3.3-5.el5 (same) xen-3.0.3-53.el5 (-5 revs older) My machine is a Dell SC440 (dual core Intel). Has 2GB on it; dom0 using 1.5GB; guest using 0.5MB from cat /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3060 @ 2.40GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2394.048 cache size : 4096 KB
Can you try accessing the console with regular 'vncviewer' and tell me if it exhibits the same jumpy pointer behaviour ? That will let us know if its a viewer problem, or a QEMU problem
