Good evening everyone,

I am using Alpine 3.15.4 with XEN. The dom0 is using linux-lts kernel and domU is using linux-virt.
I have a driver domain for USB which holds USB drivers.
I want to share some USB devices (keyboard and mouse) with another domU.
I tried to use USB IP, which modules are in the linux-lts distribution but I cannot find them in the 
linux-virt distribution. I am now compiling them, but I would like to know if there is any reason
why these modules aren’t already compiled in the linux-virt distribution and whether they could
be included in a future release.

My point is that for a virtual machine there are many reasons why one would like to have these modules
already compiled.

Best regards

Tristan Israël

No idea about xen, but in qemu you normally want usb-tablet device
which is supported by usbhid module.
Pretty sure this module supports other usb input devices.
