This bug applies to rhel5 spice-client as well: spice-client-0.8.1-8.el5 I'm not sure that this is worth fixing because this is niche use case of package that is being phased-out and people who run into this may quite easily recognize the cause and workaround. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #867885 +++ Description of problem: Disable client-side mouse acceleration temporarily when the pointer is in server mode and grabbed. Spice-gtk doesn't seem to do it and it causes weird pointer behaviour in server mode (from overly sensitive cursor when acceleration curves shape is smooth and similar to erratic behaviour). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spice-gtk-0.14-3.el6.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.5.2-11.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you have mouse speeds at highest possible levels in mouse properties and mouse acceleration enabled ("acceleration" slider at maximum value in gnome mouse properties, in Windows "Enhance pointer precision" checkbox) 2. make sure you have mouse in server mode 3. move mouse semi-quickly Actual results: mouse pointer will almost "jump" over whole guest desktop at any faster movement Expected results: mouse pointer should move in a guest just as it would move in a physical client Additional info: This could affect windows client as well --- Additional comment from marcandre.lureau on 2012-10-18 20:04:27 CEST --- Hmpf, we have already http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/commit/?id=e34ebd9da4130147927eeab47ba3c4d0d2010db7 Hans? :) --- Additional comment from marcandre.lureau on 2012-10-18 20:46:41 CEST --- I sent a fix on the ML for X11 --- Additional comment from marcandre.lureau on 2012-10-18 21:17:55 CEST --- added support for windows, sent to ML --- Additional comment from hdegoede on 2012-10-19 11:55:08 CEST --- (In reply to comment #1) > Hmpf, we have already > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/commit/ > ?id=e34ebd9da4130147927eeab47ba3c4d0d2010db7 > > Hans? :) See my response to yuor patch on the ML.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 867885 ***
We should not be creating duplicates of bugs across products in general and in this case when the problem is reported against two different components. The bug duplicated against was indicated as fixed when I'm fairly sure this problem was not resolved in the old client and I assume will not be fixed.
