Hi,
I installed Centos 5.4 64bit on a KVM machine but the mouse doesn't work as it should (i see 2 pointers). How can i solve it?

you need to find the correct settings inside your guest. modern distributions do this automatically. e.g. fedora, ubuntu, ...

for debian lenny I wrote a howto in this forum. just google around and hopefully you will find the solution for centos and you can post it here also for others.
 
I've been googling for hours to no avail on this.
This is far from acceptable behavior.

Could maybe someone who's been through this post a solution for Centos 5.4 x86_64?

post in a centos forum. I assume they should know how to configure their X on the host. or even better, use the original instead the copy (redhat) - they know for sure how to configure their OS as they also own the KVM project.

we are Debian experts here and till now no centos user posted a solutions here, hopefully you will do it after you find it.

I see the same thing with CentOS 5.4 32-bit.

It's not that big of a deal to me as I'm never using the UI after the initial installation.
 
i have the same behaviour wirh centos 5.4 32 bit as kvm on proxmox 1.5 (on a full lenny)
i tried to enable remote desktop on the centos and connected with ultravnc vncviewer, from a windows machine, and i have no double cursors, so i think centos is behaving correctly. it could be something on the java vncviewer side, maybe just configuration, but none of the option provided seems to affect remote cursor...
 
you need to configure this inside the centos, but I am not a centos expert. there are guides here in the forum for Debian Lenny, most other works without issues out of the box (Ubuntu, Fedora, ...)
 
SLES works properly and taking the xorg.conf from a SLES box and dropping it into the CentOS 5.5 /etc/X11 directory seems to work fine. I am attaching a working xorg.conf to this post ( renamed to xorg.conf.txt )
