Andrea Bolognani 5dad99216e guest: Add USB input devices to pSeries guests with graphics
libvirt already does this for us, sort of: it will automatically
add a USB keyboard and mouse to ppc64 guests with graphics;
in addition, these devices are impossible to remove.

Unfortunately this results in a pretty poor experience for the
user, since the relative pointing device makes interacting with
the GUI an exercise in frustration.

As of commit 186bb479d0f4, libvirt will still add the USB
keyboard automatically but will skip the USB mouse if a USB
tablet is already present, so by explicitly including USB input
devices in the generated XML we can create guests that are
actually usable.

We can do this unconditionally, without having to worry about
what version of libvirt we're running against: if it's new
enough we'll take advantage of the fix, and if not then the
resulting guest will not be any more broken than it would have
been before.

Virtual Machine Manager

This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library.

The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
  • virt-convert: Convert VMX or OVF configs to libvirt virtual machines

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file.
