How to send keyboard signal to guest vm?

Hi, how do you send keyboard signal to guest vm? eg: ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+back, ctrl+alt+f1 And which keyboard driver should i use on linux/bsd guest vm, i can not make the number pad work on linux/bsd guest vm, it work on winxp guest vm. Can anyone share your Xorg.conf configure file here

Rodrigo, KVM can use Logical Volume as a field of bytes to store the back-end of the guest HDD. Doing this, the overhead of the partition format is avoided at host side and things should be faster. - Florent -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a m

[PATCH 2/3] KVM: Interrupt mask notifiers for ioapic

Allow clients to request notifications when the guest masks or unmasks a particular irq line. This complements irq ack notifications, as the guest will not ack an irq line that is masked. Currently implemented for the ioapic only. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity --- include/linux/kvm_host.h | 17 +

[PATCH 3/3] KVM: Reset PIT irq injection logic when the PIT IRQ is unmasked

While the PIT is masked the guest cannot ack the irq, so the reinject logic will never allow the interrupt to be injected. Fix by resetting the reinjection counters on unmask. Unbreaks Xen. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity --- arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c | 15 +++ arch/x86/kvm/i8254.h |1 +

[PATCH 0/3] Reset PIT reinjection logic on irq unmask

Currently, when a guest has the pit running but masked, it will accumulate pending irq injection requests but will never ack them (as the interrupts are masked). When the interrupt is finally unmasked, the reinject logic ignores pending interrupts since it sees unacked pending irqs. Add a notifie
