Description Hans de Goede 2011-03-17 07:44:30 EDT

The spice-server no longer switches back to server mouse mode if the guest spice-agent dies. This leads to a non functional mouse if the guest spice-agent dies.

Comment 2 Marian Krcmarik 2011-03-17 11:47:45 EDT

I was able to reproduce with Windows7 guest. After windows agent process got stuck mouse mode wasn't switched to server mode and It was not able to click with mouse.

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2011-03-18 11:02:37 EDT

We've a fix for this, adding devel ack.

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2011-03-22 09:46:15 EDT

This actual cause of this problem is inside of qemu, not spice-server. Patches have been posted to rhvirt-patches, changing component.
