By default, the VM is emulating a PS/2 mouse. PS/2 +provides mouse deltas, but VNC only provides absolute coordinates. The +solution is (when using VNC) to emulate a pointing device that offers absolute +coordinates. + +Emulation of a SummaSketch graphics tablet is provided for this reason. To +use the Summa emulation, you will need to configure your fully-virtualized OS. +Note that the virtual tablet is connected to the second virtual serial port +(/dev/ttyS1 or COM2). + +Most Linux distributions ship with appropriate drivers, and only need to be +configured. To configure gpm, edit /etc/sysconfig/mouse and add these lines: +MOUSETYPE="summa" +XMOUSETYPE="SUMMA" +DEVICE=/dev/ttyS1 +The format and location of your configuration file could vary depending upon +your Linux distribution. The goal is to run the gpm daemon as follows: + gpm -t summa -m /dev/ttyS1 +X also needs to be configured to use the Summa emulation.
