I think in the long run to solve this bug (and to reduce cursor lag, and to eliminate the rendering load of U8 cursor movement) we will need to switch to using native Mir input coordinates as well as the hardware cursor.
AFAIK the only thing stopping us from using Mir's native input coordinates was the inability to implement barriers/edge resistance in places. But I guess we could add an API for that (also discussed in the same meeting yesterday). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670670 Title: Unity8 pointer does not stay in sync with Qemu VM tablet input Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Each time you login, or come back from the lock screen, you need to "recalibrate" the pointer by carefully moving the pointer into each corner. Contrast this with unity7, where the absolute position of the virtual tablet pointer is tracked, and sync is never lost.
