So, on certain games like Minetest, and I’ve heard Minecraft, the mouse does not seem to interface with the game correctly. For example, on Minetest, a sandbox game similar to Minecraft, when the mouse pointer would normally be replaced by a “+” , instead the mouse pointer remains alongside the “+” …

There is a fix to this. If you do not already have a USB qube, create one. Then passthrough the mouse using the usb qube into the qube where your game is running and it will automatically work like a normal pointer game with the “+” does. Note that when you do this, your mouse will stop working in …

Okay, I’ll try that. Is there any documentation on how to go about doing that? Should I create a usb qube?

You should aready have sys-usb, no further action needed. Attach your mouse to a usb port of your computer. If you have the standard qubes xfce configuration on the top right there’s an icon (on 4.2 its an orange/grey thing next to the Network manager) that should show you all your usb-devices and …

ya, I don’t actually have a sys-usb qube, during the initial installation of qubes, in my ignorance I declined the auto creating of a usb-cube, on qubes documentation, it says I’ll have to manually create one, and I haven’t got around to that yet.

are you on a desktop or a laptop? Generally on a laptop having sys-usb is easy because the keyboard uses a p/s2 controller which automatically connects while allowing the filtering of all other attached devices to sys-usb. I know its a bit more difficult setting up sys-usb on desktop, but there is…

I think during qubes installation there are settings that allow you to automatically accept usb-keyboards though of course with the downside that one can theoretically attach a malicious usb through this as it bypasses sys-usb. You can also change these settings in Qubes Global Config.

An easy way is to passthrough the entire USB controller to your HVM.

[image] LinuxUser: So there’s no known solution? I successfully used additional USB mouse connected to the qube from USB qube (e.g. sys-usb) to use mouse cursor in the PCem. It works fine as a workaround. Without additional physical mouse it is impossible to use cursor in Qubes OS due to the…

So there’s no known solution?

Mouse and Keyboard passthrough to Windows HVM General

I have found a solution that works but definitely needs to be cleaned up. The performance is great though. For example my use of mkfifo and cat feels very hacky and I imagine there is a better way using file descriptors (like in the init file). Anyways, here is the full setup: 0. Proceed with caution! Make sure to make a backup copy of qemu-stubdom-linux-full-kernel and qemu-stubdom-linux-full-rootfs in /usr/libexec/xen/boot/ so you can always go back to a working system. I do not know about …
