After some issues with qemu vnc I happened upon the patches xen carries in xen-unstable.hg/tools/ioemu/patches/. After getting them to apply cleanly they have vastly improved my experience with vnc.
I've taken these, omitted any that are xen specific or add extra features to qemu, and made some patches that apply cleanly to the latest qemu and kvm-33 sources. http://magoazul.com/proj/qemu/from_xen-unstable.hg_7c5c3aa858cc/ They seem to resolve the following issues for me: - having the vncviewer 4.1.2 die with: Rect too big: 4260x16389 at 4259,4323 exceeds 720x400 Aborted - having some odd stuck bits on the display when using the mouse via gdm or vim -> fixed by vnc-backoff-screen-scan/vnc-cleanup/vnc-fixes - occasionally having the vnc server go into an infinite loop thus screwing up the entire vm (verified with gdb) -> fixed by vnc-protocol-fixes - keypad not working -> fixed by vnc-keypad-handling [vnc-altgr-keysym/vnc-fix-text-display-shift-key not sure, included em anyway] Obviously I had *zero* hand in creating these patches and the original authors deserve the credit, I'm merely providing them for anyone experiencing the same issues. What I have done though is abused the patched qemu and kvm installs pretty thoroughly with vnc over the past week without issue. Also, in the course of this I read the recent 'Merging QEMU-DM upstream' slides from XenSummit by Anthony Liguori who I've seen on this list. Wondering if this is ongoing and I just duplicated some work that's already done? :) -- Matthew Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://magoazul.com
