problems with mouse under different guestOS

[sol-invictus]

hi!

I'm using the KVM from proxmox 1.3 with different guest-OS like WinVista, Win7, AROS, ReactOS, ...

But with AROS and ReactOS i have a problem with the mouse, which is not moving at all under AROS and under ReactOS it's jumping around (most times disapearing bottom right).

I used the latest AROS ( http://aros.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin...4/Binaries/AROS-20090814-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip ) and ReactOS ( http://downloads.sourceforge.net/reactos/ReactOS-0.3.10-REL-iso.zip ).

Can someone verify this mouse behaviour? Mouse is working without problems on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Also the keyboard is working on AROS and ReactOS...

Maybe I have to change also some parameters of QEmu... but how can i change the boot parameters of the KVM I start? Found /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf but I don't know which sytax is used for it... is there a description somewhere?

Best regards,
SOL

I have the same problems.
With Opensuse, centos, debian at installation time the mouse is working but wit somme incremental offset (2 mouse cursors, one of the my desktop and another on web vnc window wich is mooving faster). When booting up afte installation the mouse is not working at all.
With ubuntu desktop 9.04 and Windows guests is working fine.
Recentrly i dicovered that:
in VM configuration frame (proxmox1.3) at monitor i have 2 commands:
info mice
wich is giving a list of mouse's available and with an * is market the active one, usually the tablet one
Mouse #0 ......
Mouse #1......
.....
with the command mouse_set x where x =0,1,2... set the active mouse the PS/2 mouse.
Now the mouse cursor starts to move, but with the same offset acceleration.
At the mouse settings exists the Acceleration bar. When i move it to less acceleration i see that the cursors starts to have synchronous move but with an offset. Move all mouse cursors in top left corner and with keyboard move the slide bar of acceleration to the left to obtain no acceleration between cursors.
After reboot the mouse acceleration offset reappeared.
So it's a problem with the acceleration settings.
Where to set acceleration to remain to the good settings?

you just need to find the right setting inside. windows does this automatically, Ubuntu and Fedora works also out of the box.

For Debian Lenny, see this post.
