What is the command line you are using ?
If there is no '-vnc' in your kvm command line, try adding '-vnc :50',
meaning: /usr/bin/kvm -hda ... -vnc :50
And from your home machine try vncviewer <your-desktop>:50

Another option is use F8 and mark "alt" and "ctrl" then press 1, another
F8 and unmark "alt" and "ctrl"

Hope that helps,
Uri.
