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 python-virtinst
in F11.
