Controlling (WinXP-Guest)- Textmode via chardev pipe broken?

2011-12-20 Thread Oliver Rath

Hi there, is it possible to announce the kvm-guest (i.e. winxp) some arbitrary vendor-id's in a way, that the win-client starts to install the driver for this card? I.e. the RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card has the vendor-id 10ec:8168 (taken from lspci -nn), so if i give this ID

Name kvm ambiguos

2009-03-31 Thread Oliver Rath
Hi List, it is interesting, that most people at name kvm first think for vga-hardware switches. If you type kvm in google, you'll never find this project at the first place. Maybe (i know thats difficult to realize) it is better looking for another name? Like kevim? Its only a suggestion...
