I\u0027m not sure that\u0027s a bad thing though as the config on the compute host is just a default and the user might want to opt out of that. They really don\u0027t have a way of doing that today via image meta since we don\u0027t have ps2mouse as an option - so maybe adding it as an option here for the override is the right thing to do?\n\nThat pointer_model option in nova is really problematic as it is, I sort of wish it didn\u0027t exist and you\u0027d just get the default from the hypervisor unless you override with image meta. The pointer_model\u003dusbtablet thing can fail in too many non-obvious ways as pointed out here:\n\nhttps://review.openstack.org/#/c/385683/","commit_id":"fca18a344ccc5099a8894a93f94a980473e42f4f"}]}
