[Fedora-xen] Mouse problem with FC7 uptodate, Windows XP virt machine, rdesktop connection.

[NoisilySilent]

Hey, this is EXACTLY the same behavior!!!

Actually I think we are facing the same problem.
I can move it to the right slowly too.
This sounds really similar.

Unfortunately, in my situation it is reproducible as it happens every time
:(
In fact, nothing runs within the host FC7 except Xorg.
I thought it might have been a window manager problem as bonobo doesn't
start anymore when xen is launched... so I shifted from Gnome to XFCE but
this didn't change anything.
So, apart from Xorg and rdesktop, nothing runs in FC7, everything runs
within the hosted Win XP.

What bugs me most is that it doesn't appear when launching anything in
particular: I'm simply quietly working in my Windows session and all in a
sudden, the pointer gets stuck in the left.
Well, this is not that dramatically annoying as I can still use the
touchpad, but still it's frustrating: I'm the mouse type, not the touchpad
one ;-)

I had this weird cursor behaviour last week, on Fedora 7. I was running
a Xen kernel, also (2.6.20-2931, probably; but it could be a different
version).

If I recall correctly, I didn't have any guest running at the time. It
happened when I started an Eclipse-based application[1]. The cursor
could be moved to the right, but only if I moved the mouse very slowly.

On my case, it was a desktop machine, so I didn't have a touchpad,
just an USB mouse.


However, I didn't manage to reproduce the problem today. Is it easily
reproducible, on your case?
