I have had keyboard/mouse problems after the install in the FC5 guest install in x86 mode for both host/guest.
It was an Apple Intel machine and I could not find a workaround. I then installed it with no graphics on boot up. But I had several other problems like VNC issues plaguing me...
I do not have a workaround. I only share the same set of problems at a different time.

I am able to install windows 2003 64-bit on FC6 64-bit Dell Precision 490 until the win2k3 installer gets to asking about name/org and product
id, then the keyboard and mouse stops working alltogether in the virtual
machine. I've tried virt-install, virt-manger and modified example.hvm file. I've also played with using vnc or sdl and turning on/off usb without success. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a workaround?
