Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 618242
position of mouse pointer displayed in the spicec is different from real mouse pointer position on guest
Last modified: 2013-08-25 20:30:59 EDT
Description of problem: I found that mouse coordinates become somehow garbled after changing resolution from lower to higher. I was able to reproduce this issue on Win7 guest with 2 displays. I'll try to find out how much system/display specific the issue is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spice-server-0.4.2-14.el6.x86_64 spice-client-0.4.2-15.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.96.el6.x86_64 Guest contains software installed from RHEV-toolsSetup_2.2_46140 media How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -vga qxl -device qxl -m 1024 -spice port=3001,disable-ticketing -usbdevice table <win7.img> 2. /usr/libexec/spicec --host localhost --port 3001 3. change resolution of gues from lower to higher (in my case 1024x768 -> 1440x900) Actual results: Both (x,y) coordinates seems to be dependent on distance from upper left corner of primary display (0,0) I think that it behaves like (x += x, y+=y) Expected results: Displayed position of the cursor should be equal to the real position. Additional info: Display coordinates seems to be like (x += x, y+=y) from upper left corner of the primary display.

Hi Lubos, Please retry with the following in mind: 1. Do not use -usbdevice tablet when running with multi-monitor spice. 2. Use spice-vmc device (-device virtio-serial -device spicevmc,nr=0) 3. Install qxl driver on guest 4. Install spice-vmc driver on guest 5. Install appropriate vdagent and vdservice (they are not the same as in RHEV-2.2, adjusting to the new spicevmc device) 6. Make sure vdservice and vdagent are running - start -> run -> cmd + net start vdservice (or check the logs) Following the above, with a Win XP guest, I could not reproduce the bug. Ping me on IRC if you need any help. Thanks.
This issue has not been reproduced on el6 any more.
