I may have found a bug(unlikely) with Qemu-kvm 1.1

I may have found a bug(unlikely) with Qemu-kvm 1.1

[Veruca Salt]

We are upgrading, carefully, from 1.0 to 1.1.
We welcome the improved AC97 support and the loss of the ehci warning message on startup.

I am finding an issue getting through to the monitor however.
Neither ctrl-alt-shift-2 nor ctrl-alt-2 exposes the monitor.

I have even tried using the -mon option code examples to force a monitor to stdio, but the monitor stubbornly refuses to appear.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Keep going; we're about to release 1.4 ;)

I never use that one, but it should work.

These all work for me:

* Shorthand syntax

    -monitor stdio

* Equivalent longhand

    -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline,default=on

* Same as config file snippet, for use with -readconfig

    [chardev "mon0"]
      backend = "stdio"

    [mon]
      chardev = "mon0"
      mode = "readline"
      default = "on"

Thank you very much Markus.
We were literally two minutes ahead, we've added a tty to -monitor so that a function key exposes it; actually, this is better than the original qemu monitor.
So now it's (say) -monitor /dev/tty2 and a simple ctrl-alt-f2 exposes a momitor screen.

Sorry for the false alarm, and once again, thanks a million.
