This is because the emulated mouse gives relative movements and not absolute pixel coordinates. You can change it to emulation of a USB tablet device which sends these absolute values. Just search the Internet, there are multiple solutions. For example http://os-drive.com/files/docbook/xen-mouse.html. anitha rn wrote:> Hello All... > > I have installed xen 3.3. > I m running a Virtual Machine using an image file that has fedora 8 > installed in it. > When i view the Virtual Machine using VNC Viewer or on the browser > using tight vnc,there appears > 2 pointers .I need to solve this problem.

PLEASE always reply to the mailing list, too! As to your problem: The tutorial I sent you works for me. Make sure to check the input devices on the domU with cat /proc/bus/input/devices That command will show you which event belongs to the emulated mouse, e.g. event3 --> /dev/input/event3. This has to be entered in the Xorg configuration. You have to configure the domU with usb=1 usbdevice="tablet" in order to have an absolute mouse position. Instead of entering the device yourself, you can also try the following Section "InputDevice" Name "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Name" "QEMU 0.8.2 QEMU USB Tablet" Option "Mode" "Absolute" EndSection Of course "Mouse0" then has to be entered in the ServerLayout section. Hope this helps. anitha rn wrote:> Hi.. > Thanks for your response... i ve tried with the link which you pointed > to me. But its not working.
