[gentoo-user] [OT] kvm monitor does not work

[fei huang]

hi:
   I have installed a windows xp guest using kvm, and trying to get my usb
thumb drive working,

I tried using "kvm -monitor /dev/ttyX" and "kvm -monitor /dev/pts/X“， but
can't input anything,

although I can see "qemu)" prompt right there. besides, I tried "ctrl+alt+2“
in vnc, the serial0 console

appears, but again, can't input anything, no respond to my keyboard.

I disabled my serial and parallel interface in BIOS, and did not compile
some drivers in my kernel,

not sure if that will cause the problem. anybody here knows how kvm monitor
work? thanks.
