PS/2 mouse for really old OS Ubuntu 4.10
-
In virtual box I can set the pointing device to PS/2.
How can I set the pointing device to be a PS/2 mouse in XCP-ng 8.3? The first release of Ubuntu Warty Warthog is an example where this is needed.

I'm not sure it's trivial to do. That's an exotic challenge (but I understand the idea). Maybe someone in @Team-Hypervisor-Kernel has an idea

I'm not sure (rather sure not) there's some parameters on XAPI level which allows you to choose which type of mouse/keyboard will be emulated for guest (i8042, usb,...) There should be some parameters to QEMU so you could do such a thing.
May be there are some restrictions on that too (emulated i8042 mouse must be backed be real i8042 device or something like that). What mouse/keyboard device you actually see in your VM? And what kind of mouse device is present on your platform?
P.S. BTW, I have just take a look at kinda regular HVM guest - the mouse device is the PS/2 one.

@andSmv Thanks for taking a look at it. It's not really needed for a modern platform.
