I'm now experiencing a strange problem of the "mouse pointer becoming unclickable" inside a bhyve VM.
Host OS: FreeBSD 13
bhyve command: (partial) -s 29,fbuf,tcp=192.168.1.72:15900,w=1200,h=1000 \
-s 31,lpc \
-s com1,stdio \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
openbsdvm
Guest OS: OpenBSD 6.9 running Xfce
VNC: I tried both Tiger VNC Viewer 64-bit v1.11.0 and Java-based TightVNC v.2.8.3 - both present the same problem.
Descripton: After the VM is booted, I'd VNC-into it and everything is fine. The mouse pointers works (but have double pointers - one for the host and one for the VM - which are not synchronized but this is a different issue.) It'll continue to work as long as I continue using it. However, when I leave the VM idle for several minutes and come back to it, though the mouse pointer can still move inside the VM it can no longer click on anything. That is, clicking on anything inside the VM no longer has no effect. Plus, hovering over any objects that would usually cause some 3D effects no longer work. It's like the VM has lost the pointer, while the illusionary "moving pointer" over the VM actually belongs to the host.
Do anyone know what is going on - what is the cause and how to resolve this?
