Why not just wait until the QEMU version is ported to the newest one?

BTW, you want to grab evtouch for USB tablet support under Linux.  I 
also have a patch which will be in the next version of evtouch that adds 
mouse wheel and 3rd button support to evtouch.

You're also missing another patch I posted to qemu-devel that fixes a 
strange SDL capture problem with relative mouse mode that Fabrice hasn't 
picked up yet.  I'd really suggest moving all of QEMU up because this 
the USB emulation is under development still so you'll have to be doing 
an awful lot of back porting.

The newest versions of Xorg will just work (with evdev).
