What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Install a KVM guest graphically. The performance is so bad that it's practically not functional.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

qemu-kvm-8.2.0-2.el9

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to reproduce

1. host# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5900-5999/tcp

1. host# virt-install --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --os-variant rhel8-unknown --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --input keyboard,bus=virtio --input tablet,bus=virtio --disk size=10  --location <install-tree-url>

   (full xml below)

1. Connect to the VNC session, e.g. with tigerVNC

Expected results

I can easily use the mouse cursor to select the controls of the graphical installer, esp. the "Continue button" in the bottom right corner.

Actual results

The cursor has lag, disappears and I can't hit the Continue button

Additional info:

1. This does not reproduce with QEMU 8.1.0-5
2. I also tried the virtio mouse with the same results
3. I tested this on s390x, will reach out for help on other archs
4. On s390x this is the only way to do a graphical installation which is a hard requirement.
