The keyboard works normally, but when I move the mouse over to the virt-manager console, the cursor just disappears and all input from the mouse gets ignored.

If I disable GVT-G the mouse works normally.

I can no longer replicate the issue because if I re-use that config now, for some reason spice will not display properly after launching the VM.

After re-configuring for a proper gvt-g config where the igpu is actually used to render and display content now instead of qxl, the issue is resolved.
