<p><font face="sans-serif">Hi.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">After taking one more look at nova.conf I figured out the issue. I had followed the instructions in </font><font face="sans-serif">OpenStack Installation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora to install/configure everything. With this method the configuration settings for services get stored in the "[DEFAULT]" section at the top of the various .conf files. Moving the use_usb_tablet=true line into this section fixed the problem.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">This brings me to another question though... Is there a way to set the console so only the VM's pointer is present? Other console clients have this feature and usually a function key is hit to exit that mode and get the local systems pointer back.</font></p>

<font face="sans-serif">Hi.</font><br>
<br>
<font 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>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif"># Sync virtual and real mouse cursors in Windows VMs (boolean</font><br>
<font face="sans-serif"># value)</font><br>
<font face="sans-serif">#use_usb_tablet=true</font><br>
<font face="sans-serif"> </font><br>
<font face="sans-serif">Can someone tell me how to get the mouse working for a Windows VM?</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font><br>
