Subject: qemu-kvm: fails to detect mouse on win95 guest

Date: Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:11:56 +0200

Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.12.4+dfsg-1
Severity: important

I'm trying to install Windows 95 B on qemu-kvm Version 0.12.4+dfsg-1 from Lenny backports with this options:

kvm /var/mmn/vm/Win95/Win95.img -name "Windows 95" -M pc-0.12 -m 512M -rtc base=localtime -k de -soundhw sb16 -vga cirrus -net user,hostname=w95vm -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -boot a -fda /var/mmn/vm/floppy/win95B_Drive-D-boot.img -cdrom /var/mmn/vm/CD/win95-setup.iso -no-acpi -no-kvm -usb

I also tried to use some other options but always the same problem: the vm fails to detect the ps/2 mouse and usb mouse is not supported on Windows 95 B and earlier.

This is a known issue in the SeaBIOS code as shipped with
qemu-kvm package.  It is fixed upstream and in the seabios
package in Debian, but not in the copy of the code in
qemu-kvm.  I plan to switch to using bios and other
supplementary code (PXE boot ROMs etc) in external
packages, but this will be a few releases later.
For now, I included the fixes for this issue in the
current qemu-kvm package, it will be fixed in the
next upload.

Besides, win95 did not work at all up to just a few
releases ago (lots of realmode emulation were missing),
so it is a great surprize for me to know that it works
somehow.  This opens up quite a few possibilities for
me too.

Lowering severity to normal since the issue affects
only a very-very small fraction of guests and since
it can be worked around.

Thanks!
