Re: [Qemu-devel] Trouble with numlock and SDL

[Erik Rull <erik.rull@rdsoftware.de>]

Hi Gerd,

it seems to be a bug sitting in front of the computer :-)
I just recompiled the new SDL and didn't recompile QEMU against the new SDL 
- I recognized later that there are version dependent pieces of code in QEMU.

I will proceed my tests on this topic on other systems, I will send an 
update when the results are available.

Best regards,

Erik
