This is not a stylus emulation.. Touch screen and Mouse devices overlap in the axes they use. SInce mice with absolute coordinates are allowed too (i.e VMWare Mouse Emulation). A device that tries to mimic both will run into problems, since there are differences in the press/release behavior. If you then go on and add multitouch axes to the mix it will get even worse, because suddenly the difference between a touchscreen a touchpad and a mouse is lost. A device that changes its behavior without notifying user space is not really helping here either. The android-qemu fork could solved that in various ways. Especially not cramping everything into a single device would have helped a lot. But I will focus on getting the touch screen emulation working again. It does now locally after removing the relative mouse events, but still the edge swipes do not work. Need to look into that further.

Flash with sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu rc-test 2. Wait for it to build 3. Run with ubuntu-emulator run rc-test 4. Starts up but the mouse never moves meaning you can't leave the first page of the welcome wizard EXPECTED: I expect the emulator cursor to follow the mouse cursor and be able to click on things ACTUAL: Emulator cursors stay in the top left preventing movement. As noted below F6 toggles the input mode. The pointer movement is quite slow and jerky. You also can no longer initiate an edge swipe even in trackball mode. This is a major regression from how the emulator used to perform.
