[New: openFATE 321893] virt-manager support for absolute mouse
Feature added by: Michal Suchanek (michals) Feature #321893, revision 1 Title: virt-manager support for absolute mouse openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Suchanek (michals) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Most systems (recent Windows and Linux at least) can support the qemu USB tablet emulation. This maps host screen pixels to guest screen pixels 1:1 for the purpose of mouse pointer movement emulation avoiding the need for mouse capture. When mouse capture is not required to operate a VM X server pointer grabs can be turned off easing the work with multiple VMs and switching between VM and host applications. In default VM template the mouse emulation is enabled and the USB tablet emulation is disabled. These two can coexist so turning tablet emulation is low-risk. Some VM viewer clients will unconditionally accept absolute coordinates potentially breaking desktop edge triggers and similar interfaces. Some viewers don't support absolute events and will continue to work with the relative mouse emulation. Some viewers have the option to turn the absolute tablet emulation off by requesting relative events only. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321893
