Ok! Don't be surprised that your combination has never been used
before, especially with Android VM! :)
I suppose you got virt-viewer from the 1.0 msi in
https://fedorahosted.org/released/virt-viewer/.

I just installed android x86 4.4r1 on f21 with virt-manager, and it
does draw the pointer. How did you install the android VM?

You shouldn't need to set any mouse mode manually.

Have you tried with a more recent version of client on a fedora client?

It's not clear yet :)

thanks a lot for trying Spice with Android, very few people try! I
think there is a nice future in the area once we start using
accelerate rendering with virgl! (android x86 uses Mesa iirc, it will
need some gl extension though)
