Thread-topic: Mouse/Keyboard-Mapping for VMX guest (Win2003) on Intel VT

Hi all,
with Xen 3.0.1 released yesterday I managed to get Windows2003 running as VMX guest on an Intel VT machine (Presler dual core).

So the Xen developers have done good work!

However, I have three (more or less minor/serious) problems now:
- when connecting by VNC (vnc = 1, vncviewer = 0 in *.vmx file, connecting manually by vncviewer), the mouse is everywhere, but not where I like it to be.

  The Windows mouse pointer does not follow the VNC mouse pointer.

- when using sdl, I get a console window, but can not enter the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence for the windows log in.
  And Ctrl-Alt does not loose focus of the sdl console, so I cannot get out from the console.
  From my point of view, the Ctrl+Alt+1/2/3 sequences described in the Xen user guide has also no effect.

- sdl console was fine during Windows installation, apart the fact, that the keyboard mapping was wrong.
  Every key seems to be shifted one key right (US keyboard layout), e.g. "a" was on "s", "e" on "r", … And DEL was on TAB.

  A little bit ugly to enter the Windows serial number, but I managed it. :-)

Any recommendations / hints / workarounds for that?
Is there a documentation for the VMX SDL console? Is that a program, I can start separately (like VNC viewer)?

Thanks and kind regards
Thomas
