Xen: Workaround for VNC Mouse Pointer Problem with Linux PV VMs
Submitted by LJ McDonald on 31 July 2014 - 3:45amThe framebuffer driver for Xen has an annoying bug: If you want to connect to the console of your virtual machine using VNC, and you have the resolution set to something other than the default 800x600, then your mouse behaves strangely. The mouse position will be correct when the mouse is at the upper left corner of the virtual console. However, as the mouse moves from the upper left corner, the mouse quickly becomes misaligned. The problem is worse the greater the difference between your virtual display resolution, and the default 800x600 resolution.
