 |
|
I have a problem moving the mouse in a guest QEMU machine.
The pointer is not grabbed by Guest OS (Linux), however it does react to
pressing right mouse button (popup menu appears).
Keyboard works well.
This is how I launch it:
| Code: | qemu-kvm \
-cpu kvm64 \
-drive file=bluecrimson.raw,cache=none,if=virtio \
-net nic,model=virtio \
-net user,net=192.168.5.0/24 \
-m 2048M \
-vga std \
-monitor stdio \
-usbdevice mouse \
-name "bluecrimson (Chakra)" \
-boot d \
-cdrom ~/optic/UNIX/chakra-2013.09-fritz-x86_64.iso
|
The ISO used here is Chakra Linux distro live CD.
On the host I run app-emulation/qemu 1.6.1 in KDE 4.12 environment.
I also tried without "-usbdevice mouse".
Any ideas how to make the mouse pointer move?
I see both the host and guest pointers, but guest pointer won't move and clicking left button does nothing. |

It's the key combination Ctrl+Alt who change mouse and keyboard grab by the host or the guest. When it's the guest who grab, there is a message in the title bar who explain how to return the control to the host.
Have you try without the -monitor option? You can try other live cd/dvd/usb in case the one you use cause the issue?

When I boot Ubuntu live CD, initially there's no mouse pointer in guest.
If I click on the window, the pointer appears in the middle of the guest, but does not move. Nothing happens to host's pointer, it moves as before.
Ctrl-Alt does not do anything.
Yes, I tried without -monitor and with 2 Chakra images and 1 Ubuntu image. |

| ctrl+alt used to work but for some reason they decided to change it to ctrl+alt+g in newer versions of qemu. Personally I liked ctrl+alt better. |
