[Qemu-devel] Mouse gets stuck w/ qemu-0.8.1 running Windows2000/XP

[Agustin Barto]

I'm running WindowsXP (the problem is also present with Windows2000)
on qemu-0.8.1 over an FC5 host, and sometimes the mouse gets stuck at
some point (kinda like hitting a screen edge) and I have to "wiggle"
the mouse a bit to pass over this limit.

I didn't have this problem with qemu-0.7.x and prior versions.

Funny. It seems that there have been quite a few messages on this list, 
which address exactly your problem. The latest such message was even only 
a few minutes ago.

... And a workable patch was proposed many times in the past, but never 
committed. I had to manually apply it every time I updated my sources from 
CVS. Are there any known issues with the patch?
