kvm 58 and vncviewer

kvm 58 and vncviewer

[Jerry Geis]

I have kvm-amd working fine.

when I am at my desktop everything works normal.
However, when I vncviewer into my desktop and startup my
session I mouse over the XP desktop but I cannot click in the desktop
and make it active. I get the little square mouse pointer.

I have to do the crl-alt to release the mouse but I cannot click into 
the desktop
to run anything.

What might I be missing?

vncviewer does not do mouse grab so I'm not terribly sure what you're 
talking about.  Are you sure you're using vncviewer and not SDL?

Anthony,

I dont exactly know what SDL is.

All I know is when I am at my desk everything is working fine...
Then I go home and use "vncviewer machine" to remote into my desktop.
Everything runs normal of course but when I select my minimized kvm session,
it maximizes but I cannot click in the XP session to give it focus. All 
I get is the
little square mouse pointer like you get when you move the mouse off the 
kvm window
and kvm has grabbed the mouse. I cannot ever select anything in the XP 
window accessing my
machine with vncviewer.

I am using centos 5.1 and now kvm-59.

Jerry

So, you are using vncviewer to view the host desktop, and there 
selecting a kvm window?

Usually one connects to qemu's internal vnc server, not to the host.

i'll try to explain a little;

SDL is the inner API used by QEMU to display the window with your XP
desktop.  as an alternative, QEMU also has an internal VNC server,
which works much better for remote access.

when local, it's usually better to use SDL, so it's the default; but
when you're remote, add "-vnc 1" to the commandline.  no window will
be displayed but you can open a second VNC client and connect to the
display '1' (i guess you're already using display '0').

hope that helps

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.

You should try something like this:

Start kvm with the -vnc :1 switch. This won't give you the usual qemu/kvm 
window that you see. You will need to use vncviewer on the host to see the 
kvm window.

Use this setup then from your home pc; it should be better.

If you add "-usb -usbdevice tablet" to your QEMU command, you should 
haven't this problem anymore.
