Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 521994] Re: Windows 98 doesn't detect mouse on qemu and SeaBIOS.

[Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>]

Can you append:

-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios

to your qemu command-line and send the output back?  Hopefully they'll
be some indication in the log why the mouse isn't working.

Thanks,
-Kevin
