[Qemu-devel] [Bug 894037] Re: With VNC, -usbdevice tablet no longer makes mouse pointers line up
Ok, I'm seeing two devices that Windows XP doesn't recognize. One is QEMU USB Tablet, and the other is VGA Controller (VGA Compatible). It doesn't appear to have drivers for these. Both of these used to work just fine. I'm not sure why it's complaining about either one, since things were fine before. Did identifying information about these devices change over an update? Is there a way to get back the old behavior from QEMU? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894037 Title: With VNC, -usbdevice tablet no longer makes mouse pointers line up Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I use qemu in VNC mode.

Can you please upgrade to 1.0 and see if that fixes the problem. The following patch should fix your problem (and is present in 1.0): commit 21635e121ae0f0ab7874152a7c2f96e9d8cd642f Author: Gerd Hoffmann kra...@redhat.com Date: Tue Aug 9 12:35:57 2011 +0200 usb/hid: add hid_pointer_activate, use it HID reorganziation broke the usb tablet in windows xp. The reason is that xp activates idle before it starts polling, which creates a chicken-and-egg issue: We don't call hid_pointer_poll because there are no pending events. We don't get any events because the activation code in hid_pointer_poll is never executed and thus all pointer events are routed to the PS/2 mouse by qemu. Fix this by creating a hid_pointer_activate function and call it from usb-hid when the guest sets the idle state.

That's easier said than done, because it's pretty unusable. And as I said, the OS didn't change. QEMU got updated, and then it broke. So if it was or wasn't using the tablet before, then it still is or isn't now. Either way, it used to work.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 894037] Re: With VNC, -usbdevice tablet no longer makes mouse pointers line up
This is strange. On a lark, I right-clicked the unknown tablet device and told Windows to find a driver for it. It told me it couldn't find a better one than what I already had, and then it appeared as a HID- compliant device. Now it works fine! I'm thinking that what has happened is that some characteristic (name? PCI ID?) of the tablet device changed, and Windows XP doesn't automatically adapt to the new hardware, but if you fiddle with it, Windows will decide to attach the right driver. It works fine for me now, but that doesn't completely invalidate the bug. At the very least, the bug is that this change wasn't documented well. I tried googling for this, but I found nothing relevant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894037 Title: With VNC, -usbdevice tablet no longer makes mouse pointers line up Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I use qemu in VNC mode.
