Description of problem: mouse does not work (move) in virt guests. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep virt | sort libvirt-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.4-1.fc14.noarch python-virtkey-0.50-8.fc14.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc14.noarch How reproducible: 100% Tried with Fedora 14 guest and Ubuntu 10.10 guest Steps to Reproduce: 1. run virt-manager 2. boot live media 3. mouse doesn't move
FWIW, keyboard does work.
I think this is a qemu issue. Latest QEMU has broken non-tablet mouse according to Gerd's patch series upstream: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-10/msg00410.html We should really make sure that series is applied for F14.
Smells like a dup of bug 636887
Checking the Xorg.0.log from the guest to see if it activated 'vmmouse' will confirm whether its the same issue.
After discussing more on #fedora-qa we determined this was a result of me NOT specifying the OS and Version in the virt-manager GUI. I created a new guest by correctly specifying OS=Linux and Version=Fedora 14 and mouse works fine. I created a new guest and specified OS=Linux and Version=Ubuntu 10.4 and ran Ubuntu 10.10 install and mouse does NOT work. Removing F14Blocker.
If you didn't select an OS type, then instead of getting a USB tablet, you would have got the default QEMU mouse which is PS/2 + vmmouse extensions. So I still reckon you were hitting the QEMU bug i mention. Xorg.0.log can confirm.
