I'm working on getting the basics of DirectFB working under
qemu-system-arm. I've gotten the input drivers "working" with the
linuxinput drivers, but encountered an interesting issue. The keyboard
portion of df_input works fine. The mouse buttons respond correctly. The
problem is the mouse pointer's movements, which always just headed to
the bottom right corner. I commented out the joystick section.

I added printf statements for each mouse movement and it verified that
the "relative" statements were being executed. I also verified that they
were always positive, resulting in the crosshairs rocketing to the lower
right as soon as I move the mouse pointer.

It doesn't matter what the physical input device is - I have a laptop
and it performs the same regardless of the underlying hardware.

I realize that this could be a qemu issue, but I'd appreciate any
insight into how to track it down further. I'm running a 2.6.19 kernel.
I've read about some of the mouse issues (mostly just sluggishness in
rare circumstances) and tried setting psmouse_noext=1 in the kernel
options but it's no help.

Thanks,
Zac
