Hi, since QEMU 0.8.1 is out and there have been some changes in handling video devices recently, I re-diffed the old curses/ncurses driver and made a patch against this version. While I was at it I added other improvements and dirty hacks that I find useful, all the shebang is in the file http://www.zabor.org/balrog/qemu-curses-etc.patch
The changes are: * cleaned up the code, made the internal logic more.. logical. * you can choose keyboard layouts with -k similarly to SDL (Fabrice Bellard requested this). * you can switch between user interfaces using the monitor command "ui interfacenamehere", without restarting QEMU (while this command is a bit redundand, many people asked for it): ui sdl -- switches to SDL interface, ui curses -- curses interface, ui cocoa -- untested, ui vnc -- kills the interfaces and starts this new VNC server, ui dumb -- don't do this. * added virtual consoles support in the VNC server -- works same way as with SDL as far as I can tell: Ctrl+Alt+2 switches to monitor, etc. * you can set variable names from monitor with "variable=value" (no spaces around `='), e.g. "TERM=xterm" might be important for the curses interface and DISPLAY or SDL_VIDEODRIVER values matter for the SDL interface. If you started qemu on the X display localhost:0.0 and then went to a different machine, you can issue the following: (qemu) DISPLAY=othermachine:5 (qemu) ui sdl and the QEMU window should magically re-appear on the other computer's screen. * QEMU saves monitor commands history to "~/.qemu_history" on exit and restores the history when you run a new QEMU. * improved "sendkey" command (tab-completion for key names, sending keys by keycode number, some bugfixes). I described this in some older mail. Regards, Andrzej -- Dear Outlook users: Please remove me from your address books http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/21/143258
