Fedora Virt Status Update
TODO[1]
Improved Guest Mouse Pointer Movement
Daniel P. Berrange announced[1] an improvement to mouse pointer movement in Fedora 10 and 11 KVM guests.
"The default mouse for KVM guests is a PS/2 mouse. This causes pain for users because it only works with relative coordinates, which means we are forced to grab the mouse pointer in the VNC client.
KVM can emulate a USB graphics tablet which works in absolute coordinate mode, and thus gives flawless mouse motion tracking without needing any grab in the client." [2]
USB tablet will now be used by default

Approved F11 Virtualization Features
Chris Lalancette relayed[1] the outcome of the FESCO meeting on February 27[2] as it relates to virtualization.
Features approved for inclusion in Fedora 11 at this time are:
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_PCI_Device_Assignment
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SVirt_Mandatory_Access_Control
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtImprovedConsole
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtVNCAuth
Deferred to Fedora 12 was:
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Shared_Network_Interface
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge
On the KVM and QEMU merge, Daniel P. Berrange explained[3] that "The QEMU upstream release will be so close to the feature freeze, that we don't
want to risk causing KVM regressions by trying to then merge the two.
Hopefully come F12, more of the KVM bits will be in QEMU mainline, so
work we need todo to merge would be minimal."
