Dear Reader,

When I switch with SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-2 to the monitor mode, the resolution
of the used window goes back to 640*480. There a lot of command
available and typing help lists then all. in one long list without pause
to examine the commands. Is there a way to have a help listing per
screen instead of one long list. It's a rather limited way to display
the long help list, but now I need the manual next to it which manual is
always out of place somewhere but not nearby when and if I need it.

Hope to hear from one of you,
Regards,
Frans.

* You can scroll back (using key ctrl + page up).
* You can change the source code (vl.c, function call monitor_parse)
* You can set a larger size for the monitor window using command
   line options (this worked once, but I could not get it working now).
   qemu -serial mon:vc:160Cx48C should double the monitor window size.

Regards,
Stefan

This command line creates a large monitor window (160 columns x 48 lines):

     qemu -monitor vc:160Cx48C

You can also specify the window size in pixels:

     qemu -monitor vc:1280x960 (or any size which your monitor can display)

Stefan

Thanks, that is working. I could not digest that form the papers I have
read. Maybe I was not looking hard enough.

Hello oh great qemu developers,

It would be great if we would have the following two features:

1. when restarting an emulated OS, qemu does the same as when shuting down
the OS. When installing an OS in qemu I there have to restart the program
several times. Can this be changed?

2. When not compiled with --enable-slirp , qemu does not warn when I
supply it with -user-net at startup, can it give a warning here? (also:
when tun is not installed and qemu will fallback to user-net which might
not be available.)

keep up te the good work (please)

- Eric
