Hello list, in the past two days I experienced some weird problems with mouse inside VM guests. Specifically, whenever I started a guest and clicked on its SDL window, the mouse cursor would get stuck in one of the corners and not move away from there. What was strange is that everything worked just fine before I upgraded both kernel and KVM to their latest versions.
I was able to reproduce this problem by following any of the following ways: ------- 1st way ------- * start a VM and wait for Xorg to load * CTRL-ALT the SDL window (the mouse would move, but with serious problems) * CTRL-ALT again to exit the SDL window, then CTRL-ALT to re-enter result: the mouse pointer would not move anymore. ------- 2nd way ------- * start a VM and wait for Xorg to load * click on the SDL window result: the mouse pointer would not move at all. After many tries (upgrade/downgrade kernel-KVM-SDL-...) I was finally able to find out what broke the system: the ATi fglrx driver. Therefore, if you happen to have the same problem, before mailing the list asking for help *be sure to upgrade/recompile the ATi driver* matching your kernel version. Hopefully, this will fix your problem and save both yours and devs' time :) I would like to thank all of KVM developers for their wonderful work, and especially Avi for his help with my issue.
