Created attachment 777861 [details] A XML describing an emulated PPC64 pseries guest Description of problem: A simple description of a emulated PPC64 in a domain XML doesn't create a virtual keyboard. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use virsh to create a domain based on the attached vm.xml file 2. Wait until the Open Firmware command prompt opens up 3. You cannot interact with the prompt since there is no virtual keyboard Actual results: It is not possible to write anything in the Open Firmware prompt. Expected results: There should be a way to interact with the Open Firmware prompt or create a virtual keyboard in the domain XML. Additional info: I haven't found a way to create a virtual USB keyboard through the libvirt, instead i used the "qemu:commandline" tag to pass the "-usbdevice keyboard" parameter to QEMU.
