I have recently created a new Leopard Server VM under beta 2 and encountered the following issues:
1) Occassionally, most often when starting to type for the first time in the VM, keys are repeated many times on a single key press. For example, I might start to type "this is a test" and get "thiiiiiiiiiiiis is a test". The problem seems to go away after it occurs, until I have restarted the VM or potentially lost and regrabbed keyboard focus. I am still playing with this to see if I can determine when it occurs and a solid repro case.
2) The keyboard shortcuts should be disabled when working in an OS X VM. Otherwise I am unable to close a window or for that matter close an application. This seems to be an issue for shortcuts and the redefinition of command-Q, etc. In the past this was not an issue since the keys do need re-mapped for a Windows VM, just not for an OS X VM.
3) The default configuration for an OS X VM is NO USB, but without a USB controller, there is no keyboard or mouse (on an iMac) so things did not work well after booting the Leopard Server disc. Once I added the USB controller, I was able to use the mouse and keyboard.
4) I am unable to get sound from the server VM. The OS does not appear to recognize the sound controller (I did enable and add it to the VM).
5) The system profiler cannot display information about the machine hardware, I get an message "there was an error gathering this information".
If others have found solutions to these issues, please let me know. Thanks.
