What should be the values for Xen, XenFV, KVM and LXC for input type
and bus tags ?
Should we supply input type='mouse' bus='xen' for XenPV by default?
when to supply type=tablet and bus=ps2/usb ?
Yes - this is my mistake that I haven't covered the 'xen' bus type in
the input device. I'll submit a patch that fixes this.
I haven't submitted patches for this yet, but here's what I'm planning.
The template RASDs returned by the SDC association will return the
possible values for the input devices. The DefineSystem() call in VSMS
will set default values if an input device isn't specified.
These are the possible values one can set:
Xen PV: type: mouse bus: xen (libvirt creates this by default)
Xen FV type: mouse bus: ps2 (libvirt creates this by default)
type: mouse bus: usb
KVM: type: mouse bus: ps2
type: mouse bus: usb
type: tablet bus: usb
LXC: type: mouse bus: usb
