Description of problem: I have a guest specified using libvirt (see libvirt xml in attachment) with video type qxl (-vga qxl) and graphic vnc (-vnc 127.0.0.1:0). Then booting the guest and opening the guest's display in VNC client. Entering client's screen with mouse for first time I can see cursor, then leaving the client window and returning back and cursor disappears (It's possible to click) till I reconnect with client. It doesn't not happen with vga/cirrus. It does happen on Windows or RHEL guest that's why I think It's problem of device and not driver itself. It does happen with different VNC clients (vinagre, TigerVNC). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160 Guest: RHEL6.1 (xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-9), WinXP How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run guest qith libvirt with set vnc and qxl device (make sure qxl is used). 2. Connect to the guest with vnc client. 3. Enter client window with cursor, leave the window and enter again. Actual results:. Cursor disappears Expected results: Cursor is visible. Additional info: If this combination is not supported, pls say so and bug for virt-manager which would ask for disabling such combination should be filed.
It's not supported in kvm for the time being and should be disabled by virt manager. Moving to virt-manager

test with: virt-manager-0.9.0-5.el6 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.172.el6 libvirt-0.9.4-1.el6 virt-manager list QXL video option when VM has VNC video,and the guest can start #cat test.xml .... <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <sound model='ich6'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </sound> <video> <model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> .... the behavior same with the bug ,cursor disappears the bug not fixed,move to assigned.
This is a just a spec file issue, fixed upstream: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=a1057be68f9f0ac2286388d710862ef395eb42bd
Fixed in virt-manager-0.9.0-6.el6
Verified PASS with below environment: # uname -r 2.6.32-191.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.184.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-6.el6.x86_64 virt-manager-0.9.0-6.el6.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.600.0-3.el6.noarch Steps: 1. Launch virt-manager, select a health guest with VNC display, found the video option has no qxl. 2. Launch virt-manager, select a health guest with SPICE display, found qxl would be listed in video option. Also guest can work well with SPICE+qxl. ----------- I can reproduce this bug with virt-manager-0.9.0-5.el6.x86_64.
