Note for Red Hat 9 KVM Target Servers
If you are running Red Hat
®
9 on the target server using a USB CIM, and
are experiencing problems with the keyboard and/or mouse, there is an
additional configuration setting you can try.
Tip: You might have to perform these steps even after a fresh OS
installation.
To configure Red Hat 9 servers using USB CIMs:
1. Locate the configuration file (usually /etc/modules.conf) in your
system.
2. Using the editor of your choice, make sure that the alias
usb-controller line in the modules.conf file is as follows:
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
Note: If there is another line using usb-uhci in the /etc/modules.conf
file, it needs to be removed or commented out.
3. Save the file.
4. Reboot the system in order for the changes to take effect.
