CentOS - May 2012 - KVM and vnc together

Ran into something weird.

I have my machine CentOS 6.2 running KVM guest of Windows 7.
This works fine while I'm in the office...

Then when I remote in using VNC to my machine - the VNC always
works fine. However, when I try to access the KVM session its like
the mouse has lost its brain.

Anyone ran into this?

I startup with this command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -hda win7.img  -usb  
-m 4192 -vga std &

Thanks,

Jerry

I have not had the need to try your scenario.

Each guest VM can have it's own vnc console (look at the kvm man
page).   With VNC enabled for your Win7 VM, you can access the Win7
console directly w/o having to go through your CentOS desktop.
