Hi,
I noticed that when you install a virtual system with virt-manager it
always installs a tablet device by default.
The problem is that this device consumes 10% of cpu resources of the host
according to "top" which should probably be considered a bug.
What is worse is that removing the tablet also means no mouse pointer
showing up in a centos 6 guest which means you are pretty much forced to
use the tablet device.
Given that Fedora has cared about power usage in the past this looks like
something that should be fixed.
Regards,
Dennis
