If that's the only reason, then we should really try to use kvm instead, since qemu-kvm recently learned how to inject arbitrary scancodes, and libvirt 0.9.4 is gaining support for exposing that capability from command line. Fedora gains all around if we exercise our own open virt stack instead of a proprietary one. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
