Does your emulated machine have a graphics card (VGA or something similar)? If so, you might need to remove it from the guest. Also, have you tried to report this issue to the virt-manager project first?

I am emulating quite simple hardware: just text console and no mouse. I don't expect the mouse to have any effect on the emulated computers, but I need to know where the mouse pointer is. That is important because I need to use the mouse to switch between applications and to switch between virtual machines (QEMU grabs Alt+Tab events). Also, it is quite tricky to work with multiple screens when we don't know where the mouse pointer is. I am using: * Virtual Machine Manager 2.2.1 * QEMU 4.2.0 * Fedora 32 * KDE Plasma 5.18.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1890208/+subscriptions
