Why is this important? Can't the VM viewer hide the cursor and use a
sub-surface to manually draw the cursor plane configured by the guest?
Because then moving the cursor as seen by the user requires a round trip
through the VM and that adds latency, esp. when the VM viewer is viewing
a VM which is running somewhere else over the network.
The video output has latency anyway.
Sounds like you've never tried the two different modes yourself? :) IME
it makes a big difference even with a local VM. Even very little latency
can make the cursor feel awkward, like it's being held back by a rubber
band or something.
Right not to mention that the latency may be variable, so the cursor
moves in a jittery fashion instead of having it move smoothly
matching the smooth way a user normally moves the mouse.
This totally wrecks hand-eye coordination and is just plain awefull.

Hans
