Get your CentOS 5.5 mouse to behave as Linux KVM guest

Just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why CentOS 5.5 wasn't playing nice with QEMU/KVM's USB tablet emulator.

All you need to do is edit the xorg.conf old school style. My thanks to dyasny for posting his xorg.conf code snipit.

Here's a copy of my working configuration.

# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice "Tablet" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse"
        Driver "void"
        #Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        #Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Tablet"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
        Option "CorePointer" "true"
        Option "Name" "Adomax QEMU USB Tablet"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "cirrus"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Hope this helps.
