Now pointer_event use the cursor of VNC init the vs->last_x, vs->last_y when
connect the VNC and the relative coordinates is based on VNC cursor. If the
initial position of VNC cursor is inconsistent with guest mouse, the
inconsistency will keep. I think the root cause is we cann't know the postion
of the guest mouse pointer.

We have no clue what will be the guest mouse position, we can move the guest
mouse to (0,0) each connect the VNC. Now, the cursor of VNC will be the
relative coordinates. In a way, this is a quirk to know the guest mouse 
position.

Emmm, I don't know why this can solve the problem. It's quite effective and
get this way from
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-it-possible-not-to-use-usbdevice-tablet.1498/.

Only use this way, we need to manually align the VNC cursor with the guest 
mouse.

Yeah, I know the best way is use a absolute positioning. We need remove all usb 
devices,
I can only use the PS/2 mouse.

Anyway, when connecting to VNC, move the mouse to the upper left corner, at 
least not
to make things worse.
