I tried to apply the RFB9 to the QEMU daily set from 15.3.2005. I did this on a Mandrake 10.0 installation with SDL 1.2.7 and the current libvncserver library. I got some hunk errors and applying it by hand didn't let me compile it at the end. There is the confusing thing, that the keyboard support from it got included into the current CVS but the VNC part not. After all, I applied the RFB9 patch to the QEMU 0.6.1 source distribution. I can compile it and it installs fine. Now my idea is to use the VNC part without an X server output on that machine. I can start a TightVNC server and connect with a client to it. Starting QEMU with "-nographic" gives me the prompt "(QEMU)", but can't enter any thing, only use the CTRL-a commands. When I use "-k de-ch" or any other keyboard layout, I get an error that it could not find the keymapping and that it will use the default ones. Without "-nographic", it reports an "SDL error". My questions are: 1. Is the VNC option still supported in one way on the current CVS of QEMU ? 2. Can I use the VNC option on a machine without running X ? (My servers never have an X...) 3. Does the VNC option require only the libvncserver library or also the ThightVNC server ? 4. Does I need to use the NOSDL patch ? I got stuck with my testings, because I don't know what all kind is supposed to work. Thanks in advance Andreas
