For 9x this isn't true unless the program uses the console subsystem. So a regular GUI program has no console. In any case, this is moving away from my original point: I prefer the old behavior. The first is that I find it convient to be able to switch between the monitor (in an xterm) and the SDL window just by clicking. The second is that one can redirect qemu's input/output (and thus redirect the monitor) which makes hooking into the monitor (from perhaps a GUI wrapper - I am told that is what qemu workstation does) trivial. > > -- > < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > > > When the going gets tough, everybody leaves. > -- Lynch's Law > > > > _______________________________________________ > Qemu-devel mailing list > Qemu-devel@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
