Well, it's quite far from spice-gtk. It's a qemu-specific issue. I guess we could document it in the Spice user manual. >> >> Do you think the mouse mode should still change if vmport=off is not >> set? We would need a new spice-server API and flags in the protocol just for this qemu-specific issue. Imho, it's unnecessary. If switching mouse mode doesn't work, you can always switch back to the client mode. -- Marc-André Lureau _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
