Buggy mouse behavior in QEMU

Post by CorporalPig22 »

Yeah, I know I've posted in this forum recently, and I'm not sure if this is a repeat of someone else's issue, but I've been noticing some really weird mouse behavior under QEMU. At times, the cursor just randomly shifts to the top left corner and clicks by itself. I'm using the current Windows screamer build. Is this an issue with QEMU itself, or do I need to enable/disable something?

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc-screamer-60hz-fpu.exe ^
-L pc-bios ^
-cpu G3 ^
-M mac99 ^
-m 512 ^
-hda macos9.img ^
-boot c ^
-g 1360x768x32 ^
-device usb-kbd ^
-device usb-tablet ^
-full-screen
I'm running Mac OS 9. I've also tried adding "-display sdl", and it worked on the first run, but after that the issue persisted.

Are you running 9.0.4, or 9.1/9.2?

mac99 would suggest you use abd mouse and keyboard.
However, you add usb mouse and tablet.

Do you have the tablet driver installed in Mac OS 9.0.4?
You might want to try removing both usb mouse and tablet.
