I just tried KVM-80, am I am running into keyboard issues.  The arrow
keys to not function properly and using a CentOS5 guest the up arrow
brings up the "Save screenshot" dialog in gnome.

Are these knowm issues?

That annoying screenshot problem is caused by the evdev driver in
xorg.  I fix it by deleting the evdev driver :o)  I have yet to
hear anyone explain what problem evdev is supposed to solve. For
lots of people it just creates the problem you describe.

Thanks, I will check into that, however, under console mode on F10
only the arrows on the keypad function.
