About unpreconditioned residuals in Left Preconditioned GMRES

Hi,
    You can use the function

PetscErrorCode PETSCKSP_DLLEXPORT KSPSetConvergenceTest(KSP
ksp,PetscErrorCode
(*converge)(KSP,PetscInt,PetscReal,KSPConvergedReason*,void*),void
*cctx)

to define your own convergence test.

Cheers,
    Dave.
