Re: [Xen-users] Xen Virtual Machine Pointer problem

[Andreas Sommer <AndiDog@xxxxxx>]

PLEASE always reply to the mailing list, too!

As to your problem: The tutorial I sent you works for me. Make sure to check the input devices on the domU with

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

That command will show you which event belongs to the emulated mouse, e.g. event3 --> /dev/input/event3. This has to be entered in the Xorg configuration. You have to configure the domU with

usb=1
usbdevice="tablet"

in order to have an absolute mouse position. Instead of entering the device yourself, you can also try the following

Section "InputDevice"
   Name "Mouse0"
   Driver "evdev"
   Option "Name" "QEMU 0.8.2 QEMU USB Tablet"
   Option "Mode" "Absolute"
 EndSection

Of course "Mouse0" then has to be entered in the ServerLayout section.

Hope this helps.

My Virtual Machine is Fedora 8.

I m using an image file to start the Virtual Machine.

This is because the emulated mouse gives relative movements and not absolute
pixel coordinates. You can change it to emulation of a USB tablet device
which sends these absolute values. Just search the Internet, there are
multiple solutions. For example
