Keep SDL around as a way to port qemu easily to new OSes of course, but as development matures we should appoint maintainers for the OS-specific drivers. Touchpad emulation is not possible via SDL. I'm looking into using the X11 replacement (this will take a while as I have never done Xlib programming before :) SDL may end up holding qemu back ... at the very least, use a custom version of SDL that supports what we need (e.g. the custom SDL version should have patches so the e0 is preserved when returning keypresses). -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection.
