[Xen-users] help passing USB keyboard

[Robert Rust <rjrbytes@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to pass a keyboard and mouse to an HVM DomU. ÂI'm using xl toolstack with Xen 4.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 with a 3.14 kernel. ÂThe DomU OS and kernel match the Dom0. ÂI can successfully pass the mouse and move the pointer around the screen (connected to a PCI-passed video adapter thanks to assistance from this list), but the keyboard is being belligerent.

relevant lines from lsusb output on DomO ...

Bus 005 Device 005: ID 046d:c00c Logitech, Inc. Optical Wheel Mouse

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 413c:2105 Dell Computer Corp. Model L100 Keyboard

My DomU config ...

builder = "hvm"

name = 'shire'

memory = 2048

vcpus=2

pae=1

acpi=1

apic=1

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:24:cb:5d,bridge=xenbr0' ]

disk = ['phy:/dev/midgard-vg/shire-disk,hda,w']

device_model_version = 'qemu-xen-traditional'

boot='c'

sdl=0

vnc=1

vncconsole=0

vnclisten="192.168.2.2"

stdvga=0

usb=1

usbdevice = [ 'host:046d:c00c', 'host:413c:2105' ]

xen_platform_pci=1

pci=[ '01:00.0', '01:00.1' , '06:00.0' ]

I've also tried passing a PCIe USB adapter, but the DomU doesn't appear to want to do anything with it (devices on it become dead). ÂI can use USB passthrough of the mouse plugged into said adapter when I'm not passing the adapter itself, so I know the adapter works.

Any thoughts on which problem is likely easier to solve and how to proceed with solving it?

p.s. the domU conf is adapted from one I found for Windows 7 since there weren't many examples out there for passing VGA cards to a Linux DomU, so if there are items missing or extraneous, feel free to comment and let me know. Â:)
