Do you mean specifically under OpenBSD? As in general on other operating systems qemu-ga uses virtio serial ports. > I use qemu-ga for OpenBSD VM's on Proxmox. > The serial type needs to be set to ISA or this to work. Well, yes, that's because openbsd doesn't support virtio-serial. I don't think it's a deficiency of qemu-ga itself. If a virtio-serial based tty was available to qemu-ga, I'm sure it would be happy to use it. Unfortunately at this time libvirt doesn't support using an isa serial port for the agent, so I've got a round hole and a square peg <sigh>. I guess I'll compile a custom kernel with the viocon driver enabled and see what happens. Thanks...
