I posted about this topic some time ago, as I'm trying to do something similar and I ran into the same problem. I assume you are referring to this https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2016/04/linux-evdev-input-support-in-qemu-2-6/which sounds like suitable solution for your case (the article even mentions PS/2 mouse an keyboard on a Thinkpad when using VGA passthrough). Unfortunately for me, my machine has no IOMMU/VT-d so VGA passthrough is not an option, and I've been unsuccessful in using PCI-passthrough on my Intel integrated GPU, but it sounds like you've had better luck so far. My advice would be to install the latest Qemu via the package manager, uninstall Qemu but keep its dependencies, and try compiling Qemu 2.6.0-rc2. You may also need to install newer dependencies by hand, and possibly rebuild Xen-tools with --with-system-qemu=<path> in order for it to work, so it's not exactly a trivial task. I'm a little confused about how the virtual hardware would actually look in this configuration, however. Is qemu-2.6's linux-input designed to replace the xen_kbdfront paravirtual keyboard, or be used along with it? As I understand it, Qemu currently receives input from SDL/GTK/VNC/Spice and sends events to xen_kbdfront via its support for Xen paravirtualzation, and linux-input would simply be an alternative to a graphical frontend for receiving input (for use without SDL/GTK/VNC/Spice (effectively "-nographic") but with VGA passthrough instead). In this case I assume that the guest-side configuration would remain the same and xen_kbdfront would still be used, but I can't tell if instead Qemu-2.6's linux-input would emulate a physical PS/2 keyboard inside the guest. <p>Quoting Jiri 'Ghormoon' Novak <<a href="mailto:ghormoon@xxxxxxxxx";>ghormoon@xxxxxxxxx</a>>:</p><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left:2px solid blue;margin-left:2px;padding-left:12px;">Hi,<br /> <br /> there is input-linux in upcoming qemu 2.6, but you don't likely have<br /> that. The reason it was done is exactly that laptop keyboards are ps/2.<br /> If you're OK wit compiling qemu 2.6.0-rc2, but I don't know if anyone<br /> tried input-lionux on xen yet, I know some people on kvm (including me)<br /> <br /> Gh.<br /> <br />Carl Schneider wrote:<blockquote type="cite" style="border-left:2px solid blue;margin-left:2px;padding-left:12px;">Hi,<br /> <br /> I am currently setting up a new laptop (x86_64) and want<br /> to pass the keyboard and mouse to a domU. Sadly,<br /> I noticed that they are attached via PS/2 (I think),<br /> and after searching for a while without finding a<br /> solution, I decided to ask here.<br /> <br /> So my question is: How do I pass devices to a domU,<br /> that do not have a USB-ID and are propably not attached via PCI,<br /> but are listed in /dev/input/ (and in the sysfs, of course).<br /> <br /> To be honest: I am not _that_ sure if the input<br /> devices are really attached via PS/2, as it looks like<br /> the LPC-Controller (speak: ISA-Bus) might be the device<br /> where they are attached to. But if I try to forward that<br /> PCI-Device, nothing happens (It normally does not even<br /> have a kernel module attached to), so I think this device<br /> does not attach the input devices to the system.<br /> <br /> I am using archlinux and compiled xen from source<br /> (release 4.6.1). I would not have a problem with<br /> applying a patch on my own.<br /> The device is a ThinkPad T460p with dedicated GPU.
