Hello. I recently installed the Hyprland tile-based window manager (not on Debian GNU/Hurd, of course, but on Linux). From this manager, the qemu- kvm emulator for running my Hurd image works as well and as fast as ever for booting the Hurd guest system. However, there's a significant problem. It seems that due to some quirk of Hyprland, when qemu captures the mouse, the buttons are usable and responsive, but the pointer doesn't move. It's stuck in the center of the Debian Hurd desktop, completely immobile. Again, this isn't due to GNU/Hurd; the same thing would happen if the guest system were any Linux distribution, Windows, or anything else.
I'm reaching out to the mailing list in case anyone here has also worked with Hyprland and knows what I'm talking about and has managed to solve this problem. Several AIs have told me that switching from relative mouse emulation (PS/2 or USB mouse) to absolute positioning (USB tablet) has been reported to solve this problem, but I've tried several command-line options that start qemu without success. Here's the shell command I usually use with the GNU/Hurd image: $ kvm -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 3G -drive file=Hurd.img,cache=writeback - net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -vga qxl & If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks in advance. Regards. Jose Luis -- https://lordofunix.org/ Not Registered GNU/Hurd User. Registered BSD User 51101. Registered Linux User #213309. Memories..... You are talking about memories.
