Package: hal
Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
the default mouse for KVM/QEMU guests is a PS/2 mouse however the
usbtablet is much nicer, working in absolute coordinate mode without the
need to grab the mouse [1].
However X11 autoconfiguration of the tablet doesn't work since the FDI
policy doesn't look for it. Attached file dumped into
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi fixes this.

Can this be applied? Once this is done I'll enable the usb tablet per
default for Squeeze KVM/QEMU guests in virtinst which should make using
KVM/QEMU guests with virt-manager much nicer.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
