Thanks to VNC USB tablet, the issue whith mouse synchronisation has
disappeared. But the VNC display is still less fluid than sdl display.

I'm using a classical VNC client. But even if i use the -shared option,
another client can't display the VM screen.
I think that the server embedded in qemu-dm is not configured to shared the
VM screen, and i can't find the way to configure this VNC server.

For information, I've tried the FC 8. In this release, the qemu-dm should
have been configured with sdl libs, and the sdl display is working for VM.
