Once again, please do not top post.

Qemu has its own chipset emulation.  Attempting to shoehorn part of a
host chipset into a virtualised guest chipset is unlikely to work.

If the Win7 vm is on a headless server, why do you need the local mouse
if you are connecting via VNC (I am assuming VNC as you only specified
'ip').
