I'll try to find a good way to reproduce the 100% cpu problem. I have a
feeling it may be network related (could be a qemu 0.8.2 bug, even).

Perhaps, but his wouldn't explain why the mouse buttons are randomly
clicked. It seems that this often happens at the very same time as the
pointer jumps somewhere.

No trouble at all with -usbdevice tablet (Btw, new debian supporting
package coming up to enable this for linux guests, did the basic work on
it in order to do this test), except that the pointer doesn't move
smoothly when the guest is run in kvm. Using qemu 0.9.0 + kqemu (GPL:d
now!), the pointer moves very smoothly with -usbdevice tablet - it's in
fact difficult to distinguish from native. (There are also no mouse
problems when running the guest with kvm -no-kvm).

The keyboard problems are very easy to reproduce here. Just open a text
editor in the guest and try to edit something. Move around in the text,
make edits. A key will get stuck very quickly, causing auto-repeat.

In fact, keys get stuck so often in the guest, that I've installed the
Debian KDE package named kbstate. After installation, right click on the
bottom panel and select "Add applet to panel...", then add the applet
named "Keyboard Status Applet". This gives a visual indicator as to
which key is stuck right now.
