Description of problem: Fedora 11 will automatically support QEMU's USB tablet out of the box with zero configuration required. Thus we should turn this on by default for all F11 & later installs done by virt-install & virt-manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use virt-manager to install an F11 guest 2. 3. Actual results: PS2 is currently used, requiring client mouse grab. Expected results: USB tablet is enabled, and mouse can be used in VNC console without it being grabbed Additional info:

Built it into rawhide with python-virtinst-0.400.1-3.fc11 and for an F10 update as python-virtinst-0.400.0-6.fc10

While 0.400.0-6.fc10 did set up the tablet properly, 0.400.2-1.fc10 no longer does. I used the following command: virt-install --os-type=linux --location=http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/ --name=rawhide-i586 --vcpus=1 --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rawhide-i586.img --accelerate --nonsparse --ram=512 --file-size=10 --arch=x86_64 --hvm --sound --os-variant=fedora11
Thanks for testing this. Seems to work here (at least on the virt-install side). Can see if 'virsh dumpxml {VMNAME} | grep tablet' returns anything? If so, it's probably a problem inside the guest. Otherwise, please post ~/.virtinst/virt-install.log. Thanks.
Created attachment 334404 [details] log of a test rawhide install The virsh command output did not contain 'tablet' phrase. I am thus attaching the log. The installation was killed during install.img download.
For reference, the problem occurs with python-virtinst-0.400.2-2.fc10.noarch, not 0.400.2-1.fc10 Sorry for the confusion.
Okay, looks like this is particular to URL installs: we override a user passed os-type with the one detected from the URL tree, which happens to also wipe out the passed os-variant :( (and has been busted since 0.400.1). The following two upstream csets give the complete fix: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/1842b7b829ee http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/fa15b5e5d82a I'll build fixed packages soon. Thanks again for the report.
I'm actually going to be cutting a virtinst bugfix release on Tuesday, which will include the fix (and a few other embarrassing ones I've found). I'll hold off on building the packages until then.
