Simple dummy questions: Why cannot we combine visualization options? In other words, what prevent forks of back-end video message processing= =20 in order to have multiple views of the same virtual machines at the sam= e=20 time? And the corollary is: Why cannot we switch on/off available visualizations (ncurses, vnc, sdl= )=20 at runtime (for instance: using the monitor)? I mainly use VM as services: they are started with vnc display without=20 any viewer attached, this configuration allows local and remote accesse= s=20 to the VM display. But this configuration is static. Sometimes, I would= =20 like to enable the SDL viewer without restarting the whole VM. Regards, - Florent
