I don't think QEMU uses control-alt at all in VNC mode, does it? I've never noticed it. But I've always used a unix socket or stdin for the monitor; maybe that makes a difference. > Or I just have to find a better vnc client. I used good old vncviewer for a while, until I found vncviewer can't do full-screen on one monitor of a dual monitor setup. Vinagre does that quite nicely. When I found out how to grab the keyboard properly in Vinagre I found it pretty good for QEMU. Being able to switch between tabs to multiple VMs, and the bookmarks when you've got a few VMs on the go, are quite nice too. Some colleages used a Windows VNC client to a VM I'd set up, and that just broke with QEMU. (I don't remember which client.) It displayed the wrong colours, so there's still something amiss somewhere. -- Jamie
