QEMU mouse cursor problem

Hello folks, I was trying to have a little fun with QEMU, so I installed Arch and Xorg in it, but after starting X then twm through startx, my mouse pointer shows only until I click for the first time, then becomes ad stays invisible even if I reboot; a poweroff is necessary. Here's the QEMU command used:

qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev user,id=vmnet -device e1000,netdev=vmnet -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=VMs/arch.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw -usbdevice mouse

(I already installed and used Gentoo with success with this command without -usbdevice mouse)
And here's the Xorg.0.log: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/Qimj … BGkwIW7Sy/
The QEMU wikipage and doc says that -usbdevice mouse overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation, but ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse is detected at some point by Xorg.

I must say that I do not fully understand the situation here.
