I'm not exactly sure ho to access the Qemu Monitor from VNC.  You might have 
to start qemu with additional parameters: -monitor 
telnet:localhost:12341,server,nowait
then use "telnet localhost 12341" to access the monitor...

Title:
  With VNC, "-usbdevice tablet" no longer makes mouse pointers line up

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I use qemu in VNC mode.  In order to get the client and server mouse
  pointers to line up, I've had to use the "-usbdevice tablet" option.
  This no longer works, and it behaves the same as if the option is not
  there.  This makes my VMs unusable to me.

  Here's how I'm booting WinXP:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -vga std -drive
  cache=writeback,index=0,media=disk,file=winxp.img -k en-us -m 2048
  -smp 2 -vnc :3101 -usbdevice tablet -boot c -enable-kvm &

  The Windows install hasn't changed, only qemu.

  I'm running this version of QEMU:

  QEMU emulator version 0.15.0 (qemu-kvm-0.15.0), Copyright (c)
  2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

  I'll see about upgrading to 0.15.1, but since I haven't seen other
  reports of this particular problem in your DB, I'm assuming that this
  problem has not been fixed between 0.15.0 and 0.15.1.
