Problem with -curses mode ?

Problem with -curses mode ?

[Ian Kirk]

Hi,

When I run with -curses and alt-2 to the monitor, it appears to render as
follows:

QEMU 0.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
                    (qemu)
                                        (qemu)
                                                            (qemu)

Command line for this was: qemu-kvm -curses -m 512 -boot n -net nic -net
tap

This is logging in via putty and using kvm-69 userspace. The display
continues to be suitable garbled after typing "help" etc. There is no
screen(1) running.

Before I go trying to debug & try later versions of kvm userspace, is this
a known problem, or an obvious user error ?

The guest output 'window' works fine.

Cheers,
Ian.

known problem, it is not kvm specific either (as the implementation comes
AS-IS from qemu) so if you are going to propose a fix it would be better
sent to qemu so it will be picked up by kvm in the next merge cycle.

this is why it is mostly ignored as a minor issue for now, I presume.
