Video keyboard & mouse access in VM

Now that I have a Xeon based (Dell Precision) system, I am considering the ESX 4.  However, I have a simple question.

Once installed, can we at least the virtual machine have access to the video card from NVidia, the keyboard and mouse?

I understand that I may access each virtual computer over the network and using VNC, Xorg etc. from an external source. I can get GUI.  I'm looking for not having a second physical machine in use.

This machine, in addition to being my only 64-bit system, has the best graphics card I own however, I'd like to at least 1 VM to use.   I can live with the other VM do not have keyboard/mouse/video support (although it would be nice if there was a virtual KVM of sorts).  I acceding to other virtual machines through the virtual network of the virtual machine with the support of the video.

Thank you

No - a virtual machine cannot directly access this video card hardware.

    Hello

I found a PS/2 keyboard lying around as it was referred to as a hotfix, however, that the mobo is not any PS/2 ports that will not work. Can you please let me know if you have a work around this? Of course, the Windows 7 installation disc doesn't have the correct drivers for this motherboard?

  • Keyboard/mouse

    Hi, I have a HP S3541 [UK model number] and mouse and the wireless keyboard provided the two "Act to the top". Intermittently, the ladies of the keyboard off letters completely / is slow to respond and the mouse is the same, lapse nervousness and almost like 'time '. Only, I bought this system 5 weeks ago. I tried "test center" in HP Advisor and the 'good' but keyboard is not working properly. They are both less than 1 meter from the screen/computer and since 'odd' new. I ' ts my first keyboard/mouse wireless and at first glance, it was 'normal' but it may not be. Ideas or are they just rogue copies?

    Thanks for any help,

  • Satellite C50 - keyboard mouse not working not

    The keyboard mouse touchpad has stopped working and I can't find a way through Control Panel to fix it. The external mouse through the wireless works fine, but I can't use the keyboard mouse at all.

    Go to the Settings Manager to your Toshiba, by clicking on the Start button in the lower right corner, click the arrow on the down in the lower right and then look for a program called system listed among Toshiba services settings. Go to keyboard and see if you can change all the settings it will allow you to turn the keyboard on or off. If none is listed, then go to your BIOS manually and see if it allows you to toggle the keyboard. Your numlock and capslock has a light on them to indicate that they are on?

    EDIT: I also found this when you browse the forum, it may help.

    Press CTRL ALT SHIFT to get your process to come. Find the Touchpad "enhancer" process. Complete the process. Your touchpad works until the next reboot, how simply repeat this step.
    If you're struggling complete the process without being able to use your touchpad, I discovered a curious thing. If you hold a mouse click, you can move the arrow of the mouse with the touchpad very well. Its a bit... awkward... but all you have to do that is to end this process and after that, you can use the trackpad normally.

  • Satellite L670 - 1 L 4 - gambling with the combination keyboard/mouse problem

    I have a problem in game with my keyboard/mouse combination.

    When I run it, I can't draw.
    I changed the keys, mouse, connected to an external keyboard, checked drivers mouse and keyboard. Any extract, which makes me think that it is a driver/hardware problem. First time I noticed it, I thought it was a bug in the game. Now I have a new problem.

    The games that I have encountered the problem: Borderlands 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2
    Satellite L670 - 1 L 4
    Windows 7 operating system
    Mouse: Trust model #16336

    Hello

    As far as I know the mouse and keyboard drivers are the drivers Microsoft and Toshiba doesn't offer drivers for these devices except the driver for the touchpad to improve the touchpad options. I don t think that Toshiba is testing the feature with different games.

    Confused, it's that you have noticed the same problem using the external keyboard and mouse.
    Is there a possibility to test it with some older games?

  • Keyboard-mouse 5188-6816: is a replacement USB connector for a keyboard 5188-6816

    Keyboard-mouse 5188-6816 has stopped working.  The "connect" to connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB connector no light no more on the USB connector.  Technical support said I had to replace the USB connector.  Are offered through HP?  How can I find one?

    Your 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard mouse combo is not delivered with a usb cable.

    It uses a usb dongle which connects the keyboard and mouse to the PC destop wireless.

    You can't buy a replacement dongle.

    A wireless dongle is coded permanently to the pairs of keyboards and mouse at the plant combos.

    Your technical support must have told you that.

    If your keyboard was bluetooth it would have been a different story and a generic Bluetooth dongle replacement could have been bought.

  • Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard Mouse & 1. 0a, typing on computers in other rooms

    Our offices are using Microsoft Wireless Keyboard & Mouse multimedia 1. 0a. It works very well until recently, when a person entering a room the other rooms will pick up what is typed by the other person. I've tried re-sync alll the device but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Eric2009,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  What is the approximate distance from the PC which is picking up a false signal?  The range for this device should be about 6 feet.
    If you have the latest drivers for your device, then download and install the latest from here: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads/default.mspx once you have the latest version of the installed software I would suggest turning all off the PC.  Then sync them one at a time all are off the other pc.

    We recommend to use a different mouse and keyboard, then check the result. If the problem persists, try the following steps.
