If your mouse pointer is out of sync with your taps, you can switch to "Simulated Touchpad" input mode, or better yet, add an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. Here's how to do it:

  • Using virt-manager: Navigate to View->Details, and select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
  • Using the command-line: Add the option: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0"
