If you're experiencing issues with your mouse pointer not syncing with your taps, you can switch to "Simulated Touchpad" input mode or add an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. To do this, when the virtual machine is powered off:

- If running your virtual machine on the command-line, use an option similar to: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0"
