Personally, I've never gotten the usb mouse/tablet support to work right with anything except Windows guests. This tends not to be much of an issue with Linux, but as someone who has spent quite a bit of time working with legacy OSs under Xen, I can tell you it definitely does not work with OS/2, and there are probably "exotic" OSs out there that people are using or tinkering with that have the same issue. Just to be clear, I'm not really protesting the removal of SDL, I'm just giving one example of why some people may still be using it over vnc.

Cheers,
Trolle

It works fine with VNC and the usb tablet option enabled, which pretty
much every OS supports (unless you're hellbent on running Solaris 9, I
suppose).
