https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466267 Summary: Mouse pointer issues in Xen Virtual Machine Console Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: cgriffin@novell.com ReportedBy: terje@nordland-teknikk.no QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- After installing fullvirtualized Xen guests, both WindowsXP vm, rhel5 (CentOS5.2) vm and openSUSE 10.3 vm on various openSUSE/SLE platforms, there has been mouse pointer issues - during gui installation in the TightVNC window (had to continue with keybard) - and after login to the gui desktop in the Virtual Machine Console (VMC) CTRL+ALT helps to lock the mouse to the vm desktop. But the mouse pointer doesn't move smoothly (jumps) and can be prohibited or difficult to locate on and access menus on the desktop top or bottom bar. Works like a faulty bad roller mouse. Scrolling with the mouse wheel in configuration menus, has caused the windowsxp vmc to freeze for a while. This mouse issue cause that fullvirtualized Xen vm desktop guest are practical unuseable from the Virtual Machine Console (VMC). And as external connection to Windowsxp vm using rdesktop and i.e 'ssh -X' or 'NX' to the Linux vm desktops don't have this mouse pointer issues, it looks to be a specific related to TightVNC and VMC. 1. What about making these Xen Windows GPL PV drivers available also for openSUSE, maybe these can help on this mouse issue beside better performance? http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv 2. Maybe this Xen Mouse Howto document has som preconfiguration/tuning tip? http://os-drive.com/files/docbook/xen-mouse.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
