For optimal user experience, particularly with mouse pointer synchronization, consider using the "Simulated Touchpad" input mode or enhance your virtual machine by adding an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet". Here’s how to do it:
- Using virt-manager: Navigate to the View->Details section, select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
- Command-line configuration: Include an option similar to: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0".
aSPICE's capabilities are extensive, including:
- Control over any SPICE-enabled QEMU virtual machine regardless of the guest OS.
- Enhanced security features in aSPICE Pro such as master password support, MFA/2FA SSH authentication, and USB redirection.
- Audio support and multi-touch control over the remote mouse, offering intuitive gestures for clicks and drags.
- Dynamic resolution changes, full rotation support, and multi-language compatibility.
- Comprehensive SSH tunneling for added security and firewall traversal.
- Optimized UI for various screen sizes, including support for Samsung multi-window and DEX.
- Robust keyboard support, including FlexT9 and hardware keyboards, with specific recommendations like Hackerskeyboard.
