Classify configured devices by keyboard and pointer capability so automatic keyboard capture leaves relative pointer devices with the display server. Run descriptor, grab, physical-state, and LED operations on one worker. Marshal normalized events through each display server's event loop and serialize ownership changes with per-lane barriers. Fall back whole lanes to native input when an evdev cohort cannot be owned, and retry missing or removed devices without disabling the rest. Handle report framing, SYN_DROPPED, high-resolution wheels, queue overflow, held-state cleanup, and guest-driven keyboard LEDs. Restore host LEDs and kernel grabs during teardown. Re-evaluate capture when the active input transport changes.
Looking Glass
Looking Glass lets you use a Windows virtual machine from Linux with very low display and input latency. The current recommended setup uses the Looking Glass Indirect Display Driver (IDD) in the Windows guest and the Looking Glass Client on the Linux host.
- Project Website: https://looking-glass.io
- Documentation: https://looking-glass.io/docs
Start here
The Linux client is currently distributed as source code and must be built before it can be installed. The end-user guide covers the complete process:
- Build the Linux client.
- Configure shared memory for the virtual machine.
- Install the Looking Glass IDD in Windows.
- Install and run the client.
See the Looking Glass documentation for the current requirements and setup guide.
