All,
I have hardware virtualization support on my laptop for KVM. and I generally need to virtualize a windows install for accounting/tax software. In the past I've always used vbox (from virtualbox.org), but the latest rpm is 13.2. I've used KVM on this laptop, but have run into artifacts at time and I do not like have to ctrl+alt to release the mouse.
Does anybody have a tweak for KVM that will allow auto-mouse integration vbox guest additions, and has anyone found a way to get rid of the occasional window artifacts that appear on overlapping window move in KVM?
I'm leaning toward vbox again, but would like to take advantage of KVM if I can make it work without artifact and get mouse integration down.
I'm using virt-install/virt-manager, so if there are additional qemu command line switches that can help, that's probably what I need to try.
What says the braintrust? Anybody tried/evaluated kvm verses vbox for win7 guests? Anybody experienced then cured the kvm/artifact on overlapping window move (e.g. a gtk app over an xterm will generally produce them -- but not always). Anybody found a way for seamless mouse integration with kvm like guest additions? (beyond '-usbdevice tablet' to prevent grabbing the mouse)
Hi David, Good to see you posting if only occasionally. The KVM showstopper for me was the lack of being able to use 'shared folders' so that I could access files from the VM on the host. I don't recall a problem with the mouse but then my memory ain't what it used to be.
