client/server mode has the client/server determine the location of the
cursor and render it. So client mode has better mouse responsiveness,
especially with high latency. A spice agent (vdagent) is required for
client mode. You can also use a usb tablet in which case you get the
same 'perk' but nothing else that the agent provides (unless you run
it - you can run both, although it doesn't make sense). With a tablet
you also cannot use multiple monitors (the mouse is mapped wrongly).
