[vfio-users] alternative to input passthrough

[Jose Ramon Muñoz Pekkarinen]

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your answer! I didn't know about the arch wiki you pointed. It's yet another great resource from the arch community.

     I have a couple of questions though. Is synergy responsive enough to play something time demanding, lets say a shooter? Is there any way to avoid using the bridged mode networking?

     Thanks!

     José.

Check out Synergy, it allows control of the mouse and keyboard input without having to passthrough the devices. Guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Control_VM_via_Synergy

        Hi,

        I'm using vga passthrough so much nowadays, and I wonder if there is any
    better option than passing through the usb devices to the machine, like using
    vnc, or the brand new virtio keyboard and mouse coming in 2.4 version.

        The setup in my case is working quite well but from time to time, the vm
    hangs without any option to go back to the host, and I'd like to improve this
    at some point.

        Best regards.

        José.
