Hi All,

I am migrating from Virtual Box on my old server (CentOS 5.6 x32) to KVM on
my new server (SL6.1 x64).

Virtual box has a collection of drivers to assist the guest called
"Guest Additions".  These drives give you shared clipboard
and shared mouse, among other things.

Question: does KVM have a similar package of guest drivers?
I am specifically looking for mouse sharing and shared clipboard.
I am not sure if I need a special video driver as well.

Many thanks,
-T


p.s. be really cool if all that stuff were built in
