If your mouse pointer misaligns with taps, try “Simulated Touchpad” input mode or add an “EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet” to your virtual machine (when powered off) before starting. To add the Tablet:

- In virt-manager, navigate to View->Details, then select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.

- For command-line virtual machines, include an option like: “-device usb-tablet,id=input0”
