<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hi.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I setup a small test/development environment to get familiar with setting up an OpenStack environment. It consists of 1 network, 1 controller, and 1 compute node. Within it I imported/launched the Cirros test image, a Redhat 6.5 install iso image, and a Windows 7 qcow2 image (the KVM I run on my RedHat laptop) . Everything seems to work fine except accessing the Windows 7 console. After initiating a console connection via "nova get-vnc-console Windows7 novnc" I'm able to connect to it from Firefox but I don't have any control of the VM's mouse. When doing the same with the RedHat 6.5 image the VM's mouse moves along with my laptop's mouse. I did find the following in /etc/nova/nova.conf but enabling it and restarting the compute node had no effect.</font><br>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Can someone tell me how to get the mouse working for a Windows VM?</font><br>
