Mouse not working in KVM #112

I'm using Proxmox to boot the ISO and it runs but I can't seem to get the mouse to move. I wonder how I could troubleshoot this? Many thanks on the fine effort so far - the desktop looks beautiful. 👍

Thanks @thejohnha. Unfortunately I have no Proxmox system to use this. It uses QEMU, correct? If yes, then please have a look here: https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/128#issuecomment-777035489

@thejohnha I needed to remove the qemu options for configuring the mouse as an USB device i.e. these:

-device qemu-xhci,id=xhci -device usb-tablet,bus=xhci.0

Arch Linux wiki says to use these options with qemu but they didn't work with hellosystem either:

-usb -device usb-tablet

Please let us know whether this works for you @thejohnha - then we may add it to the helloSystem documentation.

Thank you so much @probonopd

Confirming that turning the option for "Use tablet for pointer" off enables mouse in Hello (the Proxmox default is on):

Just to confirm that in version 0.5.0, the mouse works with the default Proxmox settings (Use tablet for pointer is enabled).
