I've created a CentOS 7 (KDE) VM on a Centos 7 KVM server without X or GUI, and there's only one guest on this server. I see two cursors in the virt-manager VM console: the host cursor and the guest cursor, and the moves of the guest cursor are restricted by the host cursor because it can't leave the screen boundaries. Kind of asynchronized cursors. The useful "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" trick fixed this issue for any VM hosted on other servers but not on this one.

Anyway my tests makes more questions rise than giving a way :

  1. I'm the only guy here with a Linux workstation in addition to my Windows one. So if I connect directly the virt-manager of my Linux Workstation to the KVM server with ssh key, and if I open the VM console, there's only one mouse cursor.
  2. On Windows, if I try to connect directly with ssh to the KVM server with MobaXterm, then to start virt-manager from there, I have two unusable mouse cursors.
  3. Best of all, if I connect my Windows PC to my Linux workstation with ssh and start its virt-manager, I also get two mouse cursors (seems really illogical to me as it worked fine when physically in front of the Linux workstation)

I even can't determine if the issue is server's side, guest's side or even Windows PC's side. Knowing that Windows PCs here have no problem with other CentOS VMs on similar KVM servers (similar = same OS version, virt-manager version and config).

Could you please help me to search in the right direction?
