Is your mouse pointer out of sync with your taps? No worries! Switch to "Simulated Touchpad" input mode, or for an even smoother experience, add an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. Here's how to do it:

• If you're using virt-manager, navigate to View->Details, and select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
• If you're running your virtual machine from the command line, use an option like: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0".
