   - win32 host serial support (Kazu)
   - PC speaker support (Joachim Henke)
   - IDE LBA48 support (Jens Axboe)
   - SSE3 support
   - Solaris port (Ben Taylor)
   - Preliminary SH4 target (Samuel Tardieu)
   - VNC server (Anthony Liguori)
   - slirp fixes (Ed Swierk et al.)
   - USB fixes
   - ARM Versatile Platform Baseboard emulation (Paul Brook)

Fabrice.

[Christian MICHON]

mingw32 build breaks on "ssize_t" which should be "long"
instead on win32 (see previous post on vnc.c).

beyond this little detail, compiled version works fine on
win32 (I'll do more testing tomorrow).

do we need kqemu-1.3.0pre6.tar.gz for this version
or a newer kqemu ?

Great! Thanks for the hard work of Qemu community!

BTW, any decision about the async I/O patch? Will you merge it or does 
it need more tests?

Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.8.1

[Christian MICHON]

seen on winXP host (kqemu independent): sometimes the pointer
inside the guest hits like an invisible wall and cannot go any further.
This happens on a win2003 bartpe based guest and on a RedHat 7.2
livecd (superrescue 2.1.2).

how to see it:
- boot the guest without having the physical pointer grabbed
- the guest pointer is centered (position A)
- move the physical/host pointer halfway between guest pointer
and the bottom of the windows of the guest (position B)
- click inside the guest (grabs the physical pointer: we're in
position A)
- move the pointer vertically slowly down, the pointer cannot go
any lower than position B

I would say this could be a grab/ungrab issue induced recently
(vnc patch?). To check it, how do I remove the vnc patch alltogether ?

I removed manually vnc_display_init, and this is not the culprit...
I'll check anyway versus qemu-0.8.0...

Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.8.1

[Christian MICHON]

qemu 0.8.0 does not show this invisible barrier issue.
if this is worth anything, I use SDL 1.2.9.

If someone can reproduce the issue also on linux hosts,
there could be a lead.

Hi,

For what it's worth.  I have also seen this "invisible wall" problem with my
mouse for a few weeks off the CVS build too.

Since 0.8.1 came out yesterday, Instead of using CVS build, I'm now running
Qemu 0.8.1 + kqemu-1.3.0pre6.  My host OS is FC5 and I'm running XP inside
it.

Thanks,
Thomas

Can you try out the following patch.  *grumbles about SDL's brokenness*

Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.8.1

[Christian MICHON]

it works. Side effect: after the first ungrab, I can't see the host
pointer over the SDL windows.

Yet, it's nothing as compared to the invisible wall.
I know nothing about most qemu internals, but would it be
possible to make it like vmw*re, ie the mouse is automagically
grabbed/ungrabbed whenever you reach the limits of the
SDL window ?

That requires a driver in guest side that communicates with qemu.

VMWare and VirtualPC does this but requires a driver in the guest  
side, so in unsupported systems you still have to click to grab.

Just as a side note, the USB tablet support makes this quite easy at 
least on Win2k - it already has the required driver, so for me it was 
enough to add -usbdevice tablet to the command line to have the mouse 
cursor automatically grabbed/ungrabbed (it seems that the behaviour of 
Ctrl+Alt changed a bit, but one gets used to it).

Thanks to Brad and Anthony for making that possible :D

Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.8.1

[Natalia Portillo]

That's good.

Then someone should create drivers for the OSes that doesn't include  
USB tablet support and will be great.

No it doesn't. It'd only work in absolute mode of course... but it'd be easy
to implement.

Personally I'd dislike such a feature anyways.

Ok.  I'll take a look at that.  Should be easy enough to fix.

As someone has already mentioned, you want to use -usb -usbdevice tablet.

Oh, I doubt that Windows 3.0 has USB support.  I also doubt that VMware 
wrote a driver for it :-)  You probably won't have much like with RH7.2 
either.

well, at least inside rh72, I can see a usb device:
Vendor=0627 ProdID=0001
Product=QEMU USB Tablet

all I need now is:
1) which module to modprobe
2) which /dev/input/event... is used
3) modify XF86config accordingly

and then theoretically it should work...
anyone can help me please on rh72 + usb tablet ?
Thanks

I don't know of an X driver for such an old kernel that would work.  Sorry.

I don't remember which kernel rh72 ships with.

However, you just need to modprobe evdev.o and use /dev/input/eventN (for me
the actual name of the event device varies, but there should only be a single
event device there).

The evtouch driver (tested with XFree86 4.2.1) should have no  issues with such a setup.

Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.8.1

[Christian MICHON]

thanks for the tips.
unfortunately, rh72 means xfree86 4.1.0 (event with updates)
xfree86 4.2 means at least rh73

I read somewhere that evtouch driver is actually for kernel 2.6
and at least xorg (not xfree 4.x). I tried to fiddle with the usb
tablet in rh72, but no luck yet.

One question: which driver is actually used for win98 guest ?

Windows built in hid driver.. works with absolute input messages out of the box.

Can't hurt to try.

The driver I have was compiled against Xorg 6.8.2 but it works with
Xfree86 4.2.1

The official drivers are compiled against Xorg 6.8 but work with XFree86 4.0
(iirc), so there is a good chance the evtouch driver will work if u try it.

evtouch definitely works with 4.x

The site claims that evtouch only works with 2.6 kernels though (rather, that
it has only been tested on 2.6 kernels). Looking at the source code of
evdev.c I don't see any obvious differences that would stop it from
functioning with the /dev/input/eventX interface of 2.4 though. I guess what we
really need is someone who can test. :)

Hi Anthony,

Sorry for the late reply.  I did try out the patch with my local build and I
haven't see that  "invisible wall" mouse problem for a few days now.

Thanks very much,
Thomas

On my installation (v0.8.1 with WindowsXP host) the "invisible wall" can 
be avoided or reproduced at will and I guess this indicates what´s wrong.

After leaving MouseGrab with Ctrl-Alt there will be an invisible wall if 
I reenter by clicking with the host's mouse pointer far away from where 
the quest-OS-pointer is. On the other hand if I reenter by carefully 
clicking exactly at the guest-OS-pointer they will be in sync and 
everything seems to be OK.
I haven´t been looking at the source-code, but my suggestion is that in 
the Click-event-handler where Mousegrab is entered the guest-OS pointer 
coordinates should be passed rather than the host's coordinates 
(simulating a click at the exakt right position).

I've seen this for a few weeks in CVS as well on win98 guest.  There 
seems to be a work around.   If you roll your mouse around a lot and far 
distances, it seems to recalibrate itself or something and the invisible 
wall goes away.

During the emails on the usb tablet development, I saw a few comments 
about having mouse acceleration turned on in windows could cause mouse 
confusion.  I haven't bothered trying to turn that off but that may also 
fix it.

yes, but this is a painful way to recalibrate. Apparently, there's a
confusion inside absolute coord and relative coord between
guest and host.

Turning off acceleration is not helping at all. Unfortunately

qemu-system-sparc.exe doesn't work. A patch is below.
