[Qemu-devel] missing <Pause/Break> key in QEMU / Ubuntu host, XP guest, please help!

[Georg Schlomka]

Hi!

We use Qemu un an Ubuntu host and want to run XP guests. No problems
there. But the most important XP Application we run *absolutely needs*
the <break/pause> key, especially the combination <ctrl><pause>.
Unfortunately, it appears that this does not work.

After looking through some of the source (monitor.c
and keymaps/common), it appears that the <pause> key was simply omitted.

Can anyone tell us how to fix this problem? We are not
familiar with the internals of qemu at all, but we would manage a
recompile with altered sources...

If we cannot get the <pause> key to work, we propably have to abandon
our project to switch all our machines to Ubuntu and stay with XP :(


Thank you for your help

George

you could use "sendkey" in the monitor console of qemu.
This is the only way on xp host to send a "ctrl-alt-delete" to
a xp guest to login...
