[Andreas Pokorny <andreas.pokorny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are actually three problem at work:
 * The input device exposed inside the emulator /dev/input/event0 only emit absolute coordinate events. We recently experienced something similar with other incarnation of qemu in kvm: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1489522 ( in that bug  two mouse devices are available, the one that claims to expose relative events never emits them) The actual cause might be in the emulator integration itself.
 * The input device only emits those event on mouse button down. WIthout pressing a mouse button the evdev device remains silent. Another emulator problem?
 * The android input stack used in mir does not care about absolute mouse movement events. So even on mouse down it does not handle those  events. The upcomig mir will, since it will default to mir-platform-input-evdev. So this will disappear with 0.18

At the moment you can see the mouse moves when you change to the new stack:
apt-get update && apt-get install mir-platform-input-evdev3
then edit  /usr/share/ubuntu-touch-session/usc-wrapper
and add
 --platform-input-lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mir/server-platform/input-evdev.so.3
to the call to unity-system-compositor

Title:
  Ubuntu-emulator is broken on rc image 3

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in phablet-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Flash with sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu rc-test
  2. Wait for it to build
  3. Run with ubuntu-emulator run rc-test
  4. Starts up but the mouse never moves meaning you can't leave the first page of the welcome wizard

  EXPECTED:
  I expect the emulator cursor to follow the mouse cursor and be able to click on things

  ACTUAL:
  Emulator cursors stay in the top left preventing movement.
