[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1787505] Re: Solaris host: no network connection, mouse pointer mismatch

[Peter Maydell]

If you have access to a Linux box, I'd definitely recommend testing the
same setup there. That way you can distinguish "this doesn't work on
Solaris" from "this doesn't work generally" -- the latter are (a) more
likely to be config/command line issues and (b) are easier for us to
work on where there are bugs.

Title:
  Solaris host: no network connection, mouse pointer mismatch

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  This is probably a bit far afield but on a Solaris 10 SPARC host (Sun
  M3000) running a Windows XP guest like this:

  ./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -boot d  -smp 3 -net nic -net user -hda
  /bkpool/qemuimages/XP.img -cdrom /bkpool/qemuimages/xp.iso &

  the vnc server starts up and Windows boots normally.  However, there
  is no network connectivity.  There are no network devices visible in
  XP's Networking tab of Control Panel and a ping of the local router
  reports "unreachable".

  Also, the keyboard works fine but the guest mouse pointer is offset
  from the host mouse position by an amount that varies by screen
  position.  This makes it impossible to point to locations near the
  edge of the qemu window.  This seems to be a previously reported
  problem, but the suggested fix, " -device usb-tablet", prevents qemu
  from even starting:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -device usb-tablet: No 'usb-bus' bus found for
  device 'usb-tablet'

  The physical mouse is connected to the USB port of a Sun Ray 2fs
  controlling the M3000 via Sun Ray server.  I apologize if this is a
  configuration issue and not a bug but I don't know where else to
  report it and have been unable to find a solution in the
  documentation.
