HI, I am a user of Qemu trying to run Windows 2000 on my G4 Powerbook. I am not very comfortable with the small qemu window and want to make it bigger. But this fails if I try to resize the window by dragging it. The qemu crashes if I do so.
Having fullscreen mode either is not of help as I cant return to OS X using Command-tab. Is there a way out? I suspect that if I increase the quest resolution, fonts will become too small to read with 12" screen. I have not been able to test this as my Windows installable has failed so far. I am trying right now and will try to increase the guest resolution. I think the qemu window should open with 80% of available screen size. Is that difficult to achieve?
