Hello all, I've been addressed to this mailing list after reporting the issue mentioned in the topic on #spice. Here are the details of the issue I'm seeing. This machine has a Virtual Machine with Windows XP installed to be able to run AutoCAD 2006. The host operating system is Debian unstable, and the relevant package versions are as follows: libvirt 0.9.12-6 qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-5 libspice-server1 0.11.0-1 On the Windows XP running in the VM I also installed the Spice guest drivers, latest version that I could find on the Spice webside download page, 0.3. The VM is usually managed through the virt-manager GUI, although I've done some XML hand-editing during the tests to work around the issue, and I've also tried using spicy as a viewer to see if the issue was with virt-manager itself. The issue seems to happens in AutoCAD 2006 _only_. I haven't been able to reproduce the same problem in other (open source or otherwise freely available) applications. Specifically, what happens is that, when running the VM with Spice and using the QXL Windows driver, the mouse cursor in the Autocad drawing area _disappears_. The mouse is still functional, and getting out of the drawing area (such as by moving to a toolbar or whatever) makes the (standard) mouse cursor appear correctly, but obviously the program is not usable. This does _not_ happen when running with the VNC display from virt-manager, or when running with the standard VGA driver from Windows. However, under these circumstances, mouse motion is rather jerky, making the VM very uncomfortable to use. It _does_ happen when using spicy instead of virt-manager to view the VM, if using QXL as video driver. Disabling vdagent inside the VM does _not_ fix the issue (even though it does make the mouse cursor motion jerky). Lowering the video acceleration in the Advanced video card options in Windows does _not_ fix the issue (and it does make the mouse cursor motion jerky), although I have had some mixed results with this, in the sense that I remember this having worked during one attempt. Disabling the spice acceleration and video compression options (host-side) doesn't fix the issue either. I am not sure about what Autocad 2006 does when the mouse enters the drawing window, (although I suspect it does something like hiding the mouse cursor and drawing cross-hairs where the mouse cursor is supposed to be, with the second step is failing with the QXL driver in Spice). I have tried a couple of other programs, but none of them seem to hack around the Windows cursor as Autocad 2006 does, so I haven't beel able to reproduce this issue with other applications. If anybody has any suggestion on how I could further help to debug this issue, please let me know.
