Re: [Qemu-devel] Query QEMU Tablet / Mouse position / Mouse freeze in guest

[Erik Rull <erik.rull@rdsoftware.de>]

Hi Gerd,

thanks a lot!
After some browsing through search result lists, it looks similar to the
issue that was reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1323758
I will try the input_* tracepoints if this does not fix it.
I need some feedback from my colleague to check if it was actually fixed by
the solution in the bug report on mutiple other systems.

Best regards,

Erik
