Actually the Mir hack I describe in comment #7 would not work because it assumes the velocity and acceleration of USC and Unity8 cursors is identical.
We'll just need to find a way to ensure Unity8 knows some devices are absolute (which is required for pen tablets in general - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bugs?field.tag=wacom). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670670 Title: Unity8 pointer does not stay in sync with Qemu VM tablet input Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Mir: Invalid Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Each time you login, or come back from the lock screen, you need to "recalibrate" the pointer by carefully moving the pointer into each corner. Contrast this with unity7, where the absolute position of the virtual tablet pointer is tracked, and sync is never lost.
