Hi, if I try to run images with kvm I cant switch to virtual consoles
with ctrl-alt-(1/2/3) no matter what key combination I use (default is
ctrl-alt, starting kvm with -alt-grab makes it ctrl-alt-shift, starting
with -ctrl-grab makes it right ctrl button).
Grabbing and ungrabbing the mouse with the control keys works though so
qemu sees the keys.
My system is an icelandic keyboard with qemu version 2.0.0+dfsg-2 from
unstable.
Any ideas if this is a bug or some misconfiguration of my part?
TIA Oli

There may be a less keyboard-intensive way but it's the only way that I know:

"ctrl-alt-2" to go to the qemu "console"
"sendkey alt-fN" where "N" is the number of the tty
"ctrl-alt-1" to return to the VM console on ttyN

Ahh, thats exactly what I can't do, qemu doesnt respond to ctrl-alt-2,

Are you modifying the "mouse grab" keyboard shortcut?
If you add "-ctrl-grab" to your qemu command, can you use
"right-ctrl-" rather than "ctrl-alt-" in the above commands?

No worries, wasnt clear enough in my original message.

I tried that, didnt work. Neither does -alt-grab work. But in all cases
grabbing and ungrabbing the mouse works. So normally the ctrl-alt grabs
ungrabs the mouse but ctrl-alt-2 does not give me the qemu console, with
the -alt-grab option then ctrl-alt-shift grabs/ungrabs the mouse but
ctrl-alt-shift-2 does not give me the qemu console, with -ctrl-grab the
right ctrl grabs/ungrabs the mouse but ctrl-2 does not give me the qemu
console.

Well, it is working now since I did a dist-upgrade today.
Must have been some issue with the version before.
So all is good now :-)

I was hoping that you were using a shortcut that a colleague had

modified (as has happened to me "I wanted the mouse grab shortcut to
be like VirtualBox)...
