RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Jaša 2012-10-04 16:01:49 UTC
this could be a problem in qxl-win, too because in some circumstances, qxl-win is also able to provide client mouse without agent running.

qxl-win-unsigned-0.1-15


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #863186 +++

qxl driver is sometimes able to provide client mouse without agent cooperation so this bug should be handled there, too

xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-2.el6


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #863179 +++

Description of problem:
switch to relative mouse movement if app within a guest grabs cursor

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-vdagent-0.12.0-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure that client mouse by agent is in use
2. open a cursor-grabbing app in a guest (another spice-client with server mouse mode, openarena**, ...)
3. grab the cursor
  
Actual results:
the mouse continues to be in absolute mode, making it unusable in both app that grabbed cursor and the rest of the guest

Expected results:
the mouse is switched to relative input mode once an app grabs the cursor and back to absolute when the app releases it

Additional info:
** openarena needs the check for DRI removed in startup script

Comment 1 Alon Levy 2013-05-13 12:05:26 UTC
This is unrelated to qxl-win, the "server mouse without agent" happens only if you have a tablet. Closing as not a bug (leaving bug 863190)
