I'm not sure if I'm having VNC trouble, or KVM trouble. I'm using vinagre as my VNC client, connecting to localhost. Usually I use TightVNC but Avi says it's broken, and it sure won't attach to a QEMU server. Both work fine if I connect to one of my own VNC servers (Linux). Against a KVM console, mouse movement is erratic. My console captures the mouse, so I can't move it out of the window, but the far-side pointer will freeze as though it's hitting the edge of a screen (possibly because the near-side pointer actually is hitting the edge of my vinagre window). Sometimes by releasing the mouse and recapturing, I can dance it around to the right part of the screen, and sometimes not. My arrow keys work sometimes. For instance, during the setup of a Solaris 10 guest, they work up to the point where I'm asked to choose the file system type, and then they stop. I was able to use the tab key in some cases, but only to tab forward -- "shift-tab" doesn't index backward, and if the OS installer doesn't happen to roll past the end to the beginning of a list of fields, I'm stuck. Now I'm trying to install a Windows guest, and the arrow keys don't work at all. tab and shift-tab both work as expected, but in cases where the arrow keys are needed, like choosing the time zone, I'm sunk. Any idea what might be going on here? Some other VNC client that might work better, or a setting I can change somewhere? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
