Ubuntu 12.10 + xen-hypervisor-amd64 packages, keystrokes not passed through

From
http://xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/trouble-sending-keyboard-commands-via-console.html
...
a had a search around, and could not find anything that would solve that
problem. I am going to start forwarding some of the more valid threads from
the new site, which seems to be popular with new Xen users. But ultimately,
it would be good if some of you checked into
http://xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers.html occasionally...

Here is the actual problem:

I have a server running Ubuntu 12.10 (GNU/Linux 3.5.0-37-generic x86_64). I
followed all the instructions to install xen-hypervisor-amd64. Everything
seems to be working except I cannot forward my keyboard commands. I SSH
into my ubuntu server, then run: xm vncviewer , I then get a window that
pops up using TightVNC and I am able to connect to the console. The problem
is anything I type doesn't get sent to the display. I press "F8" for a list
of commands to send "Ctrl Alt Del" but nothing happens... I am connecting
to the ubuntu server using Putty with X11 forwarding enabled(Windows 7 Pro
via Xming). I have looked everywhere online but haven't been able to find
anyone with this issue. Usually people can't connect to the display, my
problem is that I can connect to the display, but then I can't do
anything... I even followed some instructions to allow the proper keymaps
to boot windows bases systems but still can't send keyboard commands. I
have tried on other computers too so I assume this is a problem with my xen
server.
