RE: [Fedora-xen] Mouse problem with FC7 uptodate, Windows XP virt machine, rdesktop connection.
Hey, this is EXACTLY the same behavior!!! Actually I think we are facing the same problem. I can move it to the right slowly too. This sounds really similar. Unfortunately, in my situation it is reproducible as it happens every time :( In fact, nothing runs within the host FC7 except Xorg. I thought it might have been a window manager problem as bonobo doesn''t start anymore when xen is launched... so I shifted from Gnome to XFCE but this didn''t change anything. So, apart from Xorg and rdesktop, nothing runs in FC7, everything runs within the hosted Win XP. What bugs me most is that it doesn''t appear when launching anything in particular: I''m simply quietly working in my Windows session and all in a sudden, the pointer gets stuck in the left. Well, this is not that dramatically annoying as I can still use the touchpad, but still it''s frustrating: I''m the mouse type, not the touchpad one ;-) -----Message d''origine----- De : Eduardo Habkost [mailto:ehabkost@redhat.com] Envoyé : lundi 17 septembre 2007 19:50 À : NoisilySilent Cc : fedora-xen@redhat.com Objet : Re: [Fedora-xen] Mouse problem with FC7 uptodate, Windows XP virt machine, rdesktop connection.

I was running a Xen kernel, also (2.6.20-2931, probably; but it could be a different version). If I recall correctly, I didn''t have any guest running at the time. It happened when I started an Eclipse-based application[1]. The cursor could be moved to the right, but only if I moved the mouse very slowly. On my case, it was a desktop machine, so I didn''t have a touchpad, just an USB mouse. However, I didn''t manage to reproduce the problem today. Is it easily reproducible, on your case?
