Re: [Qemu-devel] vnc patch

[Troy Benjegerdes]

-usbdevice tablet emulates a absolute position USB HID device instead of
a PS/2 mouse, so there is no need for messy mouse calibration when using
VNC. It also allows you to get rid of the need to have the SDL version
'grab' the mouse.

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
