Description Emre Erenoglu 2011-04-17 05:17:18 UTC
Hi,

I'm running spiced qemu in my system. The guest system is Windows XP x86. The qxl drivers are loaded. Guest also has PS/2 and Tablet mouses configured.

qemu (with kvm) is 0.14. Spice server is 0.8.0, qxl drivers downloaded recently from the spice website (0.6.3).

When I use single qxl device, everything works OK. 

When I enable a second qxl device (multimonitor mode), then the mouse looses its pointer synchronization and I can no longer click where I want. The actual mouse clicks effect somewhere  generally 2 centimeters above and a bit to the left of the pointer I see in the screen.

Please let me know if you would need more info.

Emre, which client are you using: spicec or spice-gtk? version?

Also, do you have the agent running the guest? I suppose not, since we have seen before this kind of problem without it.

thanks for your help

(ok, just noticed you filed to gtk-client)
Comment 3 Emre Erenoglu 2011-06-16 07:15:10 UTC
Yes. Thanks to the helpful developers in the mailing list, I managed to install the vdagent service inside the guest.

With the vdagent, there's no problem. So I'm happy now :)

I assume the problem continues to affect users who don't use the vdagent.

Emre

a lot of pointer improvements have been made since  2011, since there are no further reports or details, I am closing this bug for now, assuming it has been fixed.
