Re: [Qemu-discuss] Wonky cursor problem

[Gary Roach]

First, ps -A -o cmd |grep qemu returns "grep  --color = auto qemu" which 
is not very helpful.
Second, I screwed up with the VM Window thing. When selecting machine 
details the system reverted to the main qemu view because that is where 
the detail menu is. Short version; I got to the add hardware menu and 
added the suggested EvTouchUSB Graphics Tablet. As I suspected, this 
didn't do a thing. Still fighting the wonky cursor. From the looks of 
the literature, I am not the only one having the problem. But no one has 
come up with a viable fix. Somebody please help!
