Thanks Ján!What were the exact changes you were trying to make?I was following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Passing_keyboard/mouse_via_Evdev Specifically, I was updating the domain tag to include `xmlns:qemu=' http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'`
https://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#qemucommand That is used to allow (unsupported) passing of arbitrary arguments to QEMU, but the xmlns= line on its own does not do anything. You need to add the actual <qemu:...> elements. The snippet in the wiki you linked does not show that it belongs between </devices> and </domain>. Note that libvirt does support evdev passthrough via virtio-input (the virtio-input-host QEMU device), which saves you from setting up the permissions and cgroup acl manually, but requires virtio drivers in the guest and won't give up control of the evdev while the guest is running.

both call virDomainDefineXMLFlags under the hood.That is good to know, thanks for the explanation. I appreciate the help, if you have any suggestions I'm happy to hear them Josh
