I mount /dev/input from the host to the guest using the following /etc/fstab entry: /dev/input /var/lib/vservers/blackbird/dev/input auto bind 0 0 On the host everything works fine for ordinary (non-root) users even when /dev/input permissions are set to 755 on the host. On the guest the error above is reported unless /dev/input permissions are set to 777 on the host. /etc/vservers/blackbird/bcapabilities contains the following: CAP_MKNOD CAP_SYS_ADMIN CAP_SYS_RAWIO CAP_IPC_LOCK CAP_SYS_NICE (I tried to add almost all other capabilities listed in capabilities(7) but it didn't help.) As for the mythtv problem, I've found out the problem occurs whenever mythfrontend is run on a remote display. So the problem is actually likely to be related to the fact the X server and X session run on different machines (the host and the guest) rather than to vserver as such. Regards, Milan Zamazal
