Also, VNC functionality is still basically where it was when it was added to QEMU - which is barely above useable status. I liked the functionality offered by the libvncserver patch better but can no longer apply that. Is someone going to take up adding the missing pieces to VNC functionality? The suggested patch in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-05/msg00142.html might help here, too. Eric -- Eric Hameleers
