I am not sure if I understand what mean.
The original moose hooked into the IKBD vector, there were some problems, but not
regarding mouse positioning.

The AES opens the physical workstation. So it is natural that the AES uses ALL of
the VDI. including its mouse vectors.

The old moose can be used to see how the IKBD vectors can be used such that the
VDI is not affected.

For the AES the IKBD vector is too low a level.
