Hi, THIS IS NOT AN HTML OR IE PROBLEM! It's a bug in Qemus emulation.
Here is most likely the reason for some problems that newer Windows versions (since IE 5.x) may have caused. It is not always obvious that IE is the reason as it is often "hidden" inside other apps. The bug does not appear in SDL/vga mode (-std-vga). I believe that the "windows activation" problem was triggered by this. Unfortu- nately the bug cannot be avoided in a terminal server session. A simple way to reproduce it (currently) is www.microsoft.com (works at least for german users, the problem is an ad for windows server?). Try win2003 and ie6 and your qemu will freeze. The bad lines might be: <td style= "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='..')> <td style= "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='..')> If you want to debug you can get an example from me (an old slide show demo that uses IE). Or try your own. It is simple, read the MS docu on: YourHtmlObj.style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Barn(orientation=horizontal, motion=out)" These filters allow you to animate HTML objects - and Microsoft uses this at some places to make (HTML-)dialogs more attractive. Barn is just an example others are: Wheel, Iris and RadialWipe Unfortunately it seems to hang qemu by something that causes an error inside the windows kernel (at least I believe so*). When using a user space debugger like VS you cannot see the reason of the problem. Does MS still provide a kernel space debugger and checked builds? If so try a second terminal server session, attach to the IE instance and try to run such a filter. Yours Juergen * could also happen in a callback from kernel to user space (like a timer or a paint message). _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
